7. Transfer Credit

a) From Another School: Transfer credit will be allowed only for graduate work with a grade of "B" or better. Graduate work done at other institutions may be offered in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree if the work is of acceptable quality and appropriate to the student's program. Credits earned in correspondence courses may not be transferred.

A student desiring to transfer graduate credits should consult with his advisor at the earliest opportunity after admission. When the student's Application to Candidacy is submitted, it must list the credits to be transferred.

For the M.S. or M.E. program, no more than two graduate courses (each of at least 3 semester credit hours) may be transferred to satisfy the degree requirements. This transfer is limited to a maximum of 20% of the degree requirements (or 6 credit hours total).

A student entering the Ph.D. program may receive credit for up to 24 credit hours of previous graduate course work. Previous project or thesis work may not be transferred.
b) From another Department within SUNY/Buffalo: Graduate work done in another department within SUNY/Buffalo may be offered in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements if the work is of acceptable quality and appropriate to the student's program.
