Graduate Work Transfer from Other Institutions
Graduate work completed at other institutions may be accepted in
partial fulfillment of the course requirements, subject to the approval of the
student's advisor, the program director, and the Registrar. All transfer credit
must be submitted for approval prior to beginning the program. A student
may incorporate no more than 9 s.h. from other institutions. If a student
wishes to augment electives offered by the program with electives offered
elsewhere, permission to do so must be obtained before registering for such
credits, a grade of "B" or better must be obtained, and the total waiver of
elective credits offered by Columbia College must be no more than six.
Applications for permission to take transient work may be obtained from
the Office of the Registrar. When concurrently enrolled in two institutions
during the same semester, Columbia College regulations pertaining to
maximum course load apply.

Credit for prior graduate work not previously approved is disallowed
toward fulfillment of graduate program requirements. If a student feels
special circumstances should allow for this policy being waived, she/he may
submit a request for such an exemption in writing to the Graduate Council.
Transfer credit for technology courses over five years old is not accepted by
the Graduate School.

Once enrolled, a student in exceptional circumstances may be
allowed to substitute courses covering equivalent content at another
institution for required program courses, with the approval of the student’s
advisor and the program director, and provided that the majority of the
student’s work is taken at Columbia College.

Graduate Work Transfer from Another
Columbia College Graduate Program
Graduate work completed in other graduate programs at Columbia
College may be accepted in partial fulfillment of the course requirements,
subject to the approval of the student’s advisor and the program director.
All such transfer credit for Columbia College graduate courses must be
submitted for approval prior to a student’s beginning the Human Behavior
and Conflict Management program. A student may substitute a graduate
course in another Columbia College program for a Human Behavior and
Conflict Management program course with the prior approval of the
student’s advisor and the program director.
