class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transferring as a graduate student may seem overwhelming, but here at UM-Flint, we\u2019ve made this transition easier than you might think. The information below will help you begin the process and get you one step closer to earning your Michigan degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Transfer Credit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The University of Michigan-Flint will recognize graduate credits earned in other&nbsp;<a href=\"\/graduateprograms\/admitted-students\/transfer-students\/#accredited\">regionally accredited<\/a>&nbsp;institutions of higher education, and in other schools and colleges of the University of Michigan, provided the credits meet the criteria of the appropriate transfer policy. Programs are free to restrict the number or types of credits it will accept or choose not to accept any credits. Students should check with their program of study for further information. This policy governs all master\u2019s degree programs not affiliated with the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rackham.umich.edu\/\">Rackham School of Graduate Studies<\/a>. Graduate credits may also be transferred to Rackham master\u2019s degree programs at UM-Flint by following the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rackham.umich.edu\/navigating-your-degree\/transfer-of-credit-information\/\">Rackham Policy on Transfer of Credit<\/a>. This policy does not govern transfer of credit into doctoral or certificate programs at UM-Flint; programs set their own policy but are urged to follow this policy. All graduate programs (Rackham\/non-Rackham as well as master\u2019s and doctoral) follow the same process for requesting transfer credit, even though they may not follow the policy on this page.<br><br>Course credits must be transferred in total or not at all. The transferred credit appears on the UM-Flint graduate record but the associated grades received for this credit do not appear and are not computed in the student\u2019s cumulative GPA (with the exception of credits earned through the Michigan Intercollegiate Graduate Studies program). Credit from all quarter-system schools will be transferred according to the standard ratio of two semester hours for three quarter hours or two-thirds of a semester hour for each quarter hour.<br><br>UM-Flint differentiates between three types of course credit that may be transferred:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Graduate credits completed in residence at another&nbsp;<a href=\"\/graduateprograms\/admitted-students\/transfer-students\/#accredited\">regionally accredited<\/a>&nbsp;institution (other than the University of Michigan); or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Non-UM-Flint graduate credits completed in another&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/umich.edu\/\">University of Michigan<\/a>&nbsp;school or college, e.g.,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rackham.umich.edu\/\">Rackham School of Graduate Studies<\/a>&nbsp;(any campus),&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/umdearborn.edu\/\">University of Michigan-Dearborn<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/michiganross.umich.edu\/\">Ross School of Business<\/a>, etc.; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/provost\/policies\/grad-credit-for-prior-learning\/\">Credit for Prior Learning<\/a>. Graduate-level learning acquired through professional experience that can be evaluated for possible credit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Outside Institution Transfer of Credit Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students may transfer up to three courses (9-12 credit hours) from eligible institutions toward a master\u2019s degree at UM-Flint. Individual&nbsp;graduate&nbsp;programs may set stricter limits or prohibit transfer credits altogether.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transfer credit will only be granted for approved&nbsp;graduate-level courses if all of the conditions outlined below are met.&nbsp;Please note:&nbsp;Transfer credit limits vary by program. Refer to the specific program\u2019s section in the catalog for details on allowable transfer credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*UM-Flint-approved articulation agreements with other institutions may increase the number of credits allowed for transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">University of Michigan System Transfer of Credit Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The policy governing transfer of graduate credit completed in residence at another University of Michigan school or college for students in non-Rackham master degree programs is as follows:<br><br>Up to one-half (1\/2) the minimum number of credit hours required for a master\u2019s degree program may be transferred to a student\u2019s UM-Flint graduate record from both category one and two sources combined. Such credit may be transferred only for approved graduate-level courses and if all of the conditions below are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Conditions That Must Be Met To Transfer Credit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The student must be in a current master\u2019s degree program<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The student must have submitted official final undergraduate transcripts\/credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission to the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/graduateprograms\/contact-us\/\">Office of Graduate Programs<\/a>&nbsp;of the completed&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1H_NqfoHUEWPULjS08WoBOLZA37DaLLN6jG8hwLnzXlg\/edit#\">transfer of credit form<\/a>&nbsp;signed by the student and the department or program graduate chair signifying approval, along with a current official final transcript from the institution you wish to transfer the credit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Courses Cannot Be Transferred for Credit If:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Already applied in whole or in part, in any way, toward any undergraduate degree, graduate degree, or certificate.**<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Credit(s) will be applied in whole or in part, in any way, towards any other current or future U-M degree or certificate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taken more than five years before first enrollment in the present UM-Flint master\u2019s program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A grade below \u201cB\u201d was earned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Graduate-level work was not done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">**Certificate refers to an academic credential given by a&nbsp;<a href=\"\/graduateprograms\/admitted-students\/transfer-students\/#accredited\">regionally accredited<\/a>&nbsp;postsecondary institution.
