Transfer Of Credit

Students who are accepted into a graduate program and register for courses may request transfer credit for relevant graduate courses at regionally accredited institutions, including courses taken at Hunter College while enrolled in another degree program, whether or not a master's degree was awarded.

Transfer of credit is subject to the approval of the department or graduate advisor and to the regulations of the Hunter program in which the student is enrolled. The following additional limitations apply:

  • The course(s) for which transfer of credit is requested must have been completed within five years prior to the awarding of the Hunter graduate degree. (A four-year restriction applies to the School of Arts and Sciences.)
  • Credits for courses in which the student earned a grade below B, or took a non-letter grade such as a pass/fail are not transferable.
  • A maximum of 12 credits may be transferred.
  • Courses used to satisfy entrance requirements, as well as courses used as part of a previously completed bachelor's program, may not be transferred.
  • Grades in courses transferred from other institutions, or from a prior master's degree program taken at Hunter College, will not be calculated into the student's grade point average (GPA), nor will these grades be posted on the current Hunter College record.

Please Note: Undergraduate students who have taken graduate courses while completing their undergraduate degree at Hunter College may apply to transfer the courses towards their graduate degree at Hunter College if the courses were not used to satisfy bachelor's degree requirements and the difference between the undergraduate and graduate tuition rates is paid. The grades in these courses will be calculated in the student's graduate grade point average (GPA) and the grades will be posted on the current Hunter College record.

A note regarding Hunter-Bellevue School Of Nursing Graduate Program Policy

Students may apply to transfer up to 12 credits of prior graduate coursework completed within the previous five years, and for which a grade of “B” or better was earned. Courses used as part of a previously completed bachelor's degree may not be transferred.

The Program Coordinator will determine whether specific prior graduate courses are equivalent to any required or elective HBSON courses. Conditions and procedures for transferring graduate credit, along with a Graduate Transfer of Credit Approval Form (pdf), may be found under Transfer of Credit on the Graduate Admissions website.
