Transfer Credit
Students must request transfer credit for courses previously completed at another college or university at the time of application. Students receiving Veterans Administration (VA) funding are eligible to receive transfer credit for previously completed courses only if they make their request during the semester/term of their admission. The following conditions must exist for transfer credit to be approved:
- The course must have been taken within the last five years at an accredited university or college and after the student had received a bachelor's degree.
- The course must be acceptable into an appropriate graduate degree program at the institution where it was taken.
- A grade of B or better must have been earned in the course. (A grade of B- is not acceptable.)
- The course must be sufficiently related to the student's degree program at ULV as determined by the Program Chairperson.
- There is a limit of six semester hours which may be transferred into 30-35 semester hour degree programs. A total of 12 semester hours may be transferred into a program requiring 36 or more semester hours. (A quarter hour counts as two-thirds of a semester hour.)
- Courses taken through the military may be transferred into a University of La Verne graduate program, consistent with the guidelines above. The number of graduate transfer credits allowed is subject to the guidelines established by the American Council on Education (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services.
- Only courses which are accepted for transfer into a degree program are added to the student's ULV transcript.
- The University of La Verne reserves the right to refuse transfer credit or limit the credits accepted toward any of its degree programs from accredited institutions, including those accredited by regional accreditation associations, if these credits are attributed to courses that do not meet the University of La Verne's academic standards.
Graduate students matriculated into a certificate program may transfer up to six semester hours of elective credit toward completion of the certificate. Requests to have transfer credit applied to the certificate must be submitted to the Department/Program Chair through the student's advisor in RCA. The Department/Program Chair will evaluate the transfer credit using the same criteria for accepting transfer credits into a degree program and notify the Graduate Office or RCA to post the approved transfer credit to the student's transcript.
