Students who transfer from other accredited institutions or who, while matriculated at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, take approved courses at other accredited institutions, may receive credit for academic courses passed with a grade of C or better. The courses are evaluated by either the dean's office (liberal arts coursework) or by the department (artistic coursework) upon receipt of an official transcript from the outside institution. No credit is given for courses passed by examination at other institutions. Courses taken online are dealt with by the department in question. Transfer credits and grades for courses taken outside Rutgers University are not included in the cumulative grade-point average. Approved courses taken at other divisions of Rutgers University are included in the cumulative grade-point average. Students applying for transfer credit must submit a catalog of the institution(s) attended, marked to show the courses taken, in addition to an official transcript from the institution. Students may not transfer credit earned at other institutions during a fall or spring semester in which they are currently enrolled at Rutgers.
Although course credits for applied music (performance) courses may transfer, the applied music performance level is determined by placement from the department.
