External Transfer Credit<\/p>\n
If a syllabus indicates that a graduate course taken elsewhere is equivalent to one offered by a graduate program at Âé¶¹´«Ã½, application for transfer credits may be submitted.\u00a0The criteria for acceptance are different for each graduate program; therefore, transfer of credits must be approved by the Director of the graduate program.\u00a0Inclusive of credits awarded through Graduate Prior Learning Assessment (GPLA), only a maximum of 25% of the overall credits required to complete the graduate degree may be considered for transfer into a Âé¶¹´«Ã½ graduate program provided the courses are from another accredited institution of higher education. Students who transfer from a non-degree program to a degree program must fulfill the degree requirements in place at the time of matriculation into the degree program.<\/p>\n
Graduate students can also earn credit\u00a0through Graduate Prior Learning Assessment (GPLA). (Please see Policy 300-H Assessment of Prior Learning for Academic Credit for more details.)<\/p>\n
Internal Transfer Credit<\/p>\n
It may be possible to apply up to 15 credits or 25% of the total credits required to complete the graduate degree, whichever is greater, of Master\u2019s-level coursework completed at Âé¶¹´«Ã½ to two different Ramapo Master\u2019s programs, as long as this aligns with the criteria of the subsequent Master\u2019s degree program and permission to do so is granted by the Program Director.<\/p>\n
The evaluation of proposed internal and external transfer credit is conducted by the Program Director whose decision is final (i.e., there is no appeal process).<\/p>\n
