RE:	Transfer of Credit Policy for Graduate Students

Millersville University’s Current Transfer of Credit Policy for graduate students (page 21 of the Graduate Catalog)

“Transfer credit may amount to a maximum of twelve credit hours from other accredited institutions, subject to completion of the residency requirement, and is subject to the time limit for the completion of all degree requirements. Except in the most extenuating circumstances, no transfer credit will be allowed for work completed more than five years prior to admission to Millersville University.”

The proposed policy:

“Transfer credit may amount to a maximum of twelve nine credit hours from other accredited institutions, subject to completion of the residency requirement, and is subject to the time limit for the completion of all degree requirements. Except in the most extenuating circumstances, no transfer credit will be allowed for work completed more than five years prior to admission to Millersville University.”
