Transfer of Graduate Credits

A student, depending on academic program, may transfer graduate coursework completed at another regionally accredited graduate institution provided that the courses are appropriate to the student‘s program and the grades earned are B or better or equivalent, and are approved by the Program Director/Coordinator of the student’s academic program. Transfer credits may not exceed 9 hours. Graduate credits transferred from other institutions will become a part of the Grade Point Average recorded on the student‘s West Liberty University transcript and may meet credit hour requirements toward graduation. Transfer credit will not be added to the student’s record until the student has successfully completed at least 6 hours within their academic program at West Liberty University. All transfer credits must have been earned within a seven-year time limit counted from the date of enrollment in the first graduate course to be applied toward meeting degree requirements of the student‘s program. Due to accreditation standards, the MSPAS does not allow transfer credit.
