Credit for graduate courses taken at other institutions may not be transferred until 12 credits of graduate courses with grades of B or better have been completed in the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy as a matriculated student. Transfer of up to 12 credits is allowed only for formal graduate-level course work specifically related to the student`s program of study and in which grades of B or better were received. No credit may be transferred for thesis research work, course work done as independent study, or work in courses that were not graded. P or S grades are eligible for transfer if equivalent to a grade of B or better and accompanied by a letter of equivalency from the instructor of the course. Special permission is required to transfer credit for courses taken more than six years prior to the application for transfer of credit. Quarter credits are converted to term credits by reducing the total by one-third. For transfer of graduate courses taken as an undergraduate student or toward another graduate degree, a letter is required from the registrar of the institution involved stating that the course(s) was (were) not used toward another undergraduate or graduate degree. Applications for transfer of credit are available from the Bloustein School`s Office of Student and Academic Services.
