POLICY UPDATE
Transfer of Credit and Professional Degrees
Issue: Can courses taken as an undergraduate student, but not applied toward the undergraduate degree, count
toward graduate degree requirements?
Transfer of Credit
USF has two degree-granting institutions: USF-Tampa (which includes USF Polytechnic and USF SarasotaManatee) and USF-St. Petersburg. Students may, with the approval of their graduate program, earn credits at any of
the USF institutions. However, the majority of credits needed for a degree must be earned through instruction
offered by the institution granting the degree. Students may request a transfer of credit toward their degree program.
There are two types of transfer of credit:
Internal Institution Transfer of Credit
Credits earned from USF Tampa, USF Polytechnic, or USF Sarasota-Manatee.
External Institution Transfer of Credit
Credits earned from USF-St. Petersburg or other regionally accredited institutions
Requirements for Transfer of Credit:
? Hours: Credits may be transferred as indicated on the appropriate tables below
? GPA: Credits transferred in must have a grade of B or better
o For Internal Institution Credits the grade transferred in
? Are calculated in the GPA
? Are noted on the transcript as the grade earned
o For External Institution Credits grades from transfer credit
? Are not calculated in the GPA
? Are noted on the transcript by a T if from a non-USF institution
? Are noted on the transcript by a N/A if from a USF Regionally accredited institution*
? Evaluation/Approval: The graduate program / department will be responsible for evaluating, approving,
and initiating the transfer as soon as possible following admission.
? Time Limits: All coursework transferred into a graduate program must be completed
o within five (5) years of graduation for a master¡¯s and Ed.S. program
o within eight (8) years of graduation for a doctoral program.
o There is no time limitation for courses from a completed master¡¯s degree used toward a doctoral
degree .
