Transfer of
Credit
Credit hours may be accepted for transfer into the Ph.D., M.S., and Graduate
Certificate programs. These must be graduate courses taken at regionally
accredited colleges or universities. All courses to be transferred must
be substantially equivalent to courses taught in the program to which you
are applying. Each applicant will be reviewed on an individual basis. There
are no transfer credits given for electives.
You must submit an Application for Transfer of Credit, available from the
Program Coordinator, with specific requests for the courses you wish to
waive, accompanied by official course descriptions and syllabi that document
the content of the course(s) you wish to transfer. No more than two courses
may be used to establish equivalence with a NSU course. To be considered
for transfer of credit, courses must have been completed prior to admission
to the graduate program and less than seven years prior to the beginning
of the student's first trimester. Also, course grades must be "B" or higher.
Courses approved for transfer of credit will be recorded on your NSU transcript.
Requests for transfer of credit must be completed before the end of the
student’s first trimester.
