Transfer of Credit
Students may transfer up to 21 quarter hours (14 semester hours)
of graduate credit to the University of Denver towards the M.A.
degree in Conflict Resolution. Graduate credits depend upon the
accreditation of the institution where the courses were taken
(determined by the Registrar's Office), and the nature of the
courses. Only graduate-level work relevant to a student's program
with grades of B or better are accepted. University rules stipulate
that transferred credits must have been earned at an accredited
institution, that grades in each course were B or better, that
courses must be at the graduate level, taken after the Bachelor's
degree, and been earned within a five-year period preceding the
request for transfer. The transfer credit must have been earned
as graduate credit at an institution offering a graduate degree
program. Only courses graded A-F can be transferred; those taken
as pass/fail are not transferable. Exceptions to this regulation
will be made only by the Program Director and only upon specific
justification for such exceptions as submitted to the Registrar.
The University does not accept undergraduate credit hours, even
at advanced levels, as transfer credit in graduate programs. Students
may be given permission to waive such courses at the graduate
level to avoid repetition of work, but must complete the full
credit hour requirement of their program. Thus it is possible
that advanced undergraduate/graduate courses taken as part of
a graduate degree could be accepted in transfer, while the same
courses taken as part of an undergraduate degree will not be accepted.
Among the most important reasons for this is standard practice
at universities and the expectations of accrediting bodies.
A “Transfer of Credit” form is available in the Conflict
Resolution Institute office. It must be submitted to the Graduate
Director for approval, accompanied by a program statement and
transcript. It is due during the second quarter after a student
matriculates. Note: 1 semester credit = 1.5 quarter credit hours;
10 semester credits = 15 quarter credit hours.
Requests for transfer of credit may be submitted and evaluated
once a student begins a graduate program. Such requests cannot
be honored if submitted prior to admission, acceptance or enrollment.
The student must initiate the request for such transfer to the
Graduate Director. The request for such transfer should be made
during the quarter of attendance as a degree-seeking student when
a student submits a Program Statement.
Grades earned at other institutions are not included in the computation
of grade point average achieved at the University of Denver.
