- Courses must be completed with grades of B (3.00) or higher.
- Graduate courses completed while the student was in undergraduate status shall be eligible for transfer only upon receipt of documentation from the institution certifying that such course work was not used to fulfill undergraduate degree requirements at that institution.
- Transfer credit may not be used to satisfy more than one-third of the total credit hours required for the degree, unless otherwise specific by the program.
- All transfer credit will be reviewed by the academic division to which the student is applying to ensure prior completed coursework aligns with course outcomes or competencies.
- Transfer credits for graduate courses taken more than five years prior to a student’s enrollment at the college will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Students who have credit that is more than 5 years old may have to repeat those courses at the discretion of the division and/or Office of Records and Registration.
- Current Keuka College students who wish to take graduate courses to fulfill Keuka College degree requirements at another institution must obtain prior approval from the academic division to do so.
- Graduate-level coursework completed at institutions outside the United States must be supported by a course-by-course credential and equivalency evaluation conducted by a NACES recognized international credential evaluation service.
- For health care credentials earned outside the United States, applicants seeking transfer or prior learning credit must have their credentials evaluated, verified, and validated by TruMerit. Credit consideration is subject to receipt of an official TruMerit evaluation and institutional review.
