Transferring Credits

You may transfer up to two-thirds (up to 49% for Northwest House of Studies students) of your required units from an accredited theological or graduate school if that credit has not already been applied to a degree and if that credit is evaluated by the Director of Academic Advisement as an appropriate part of your program. Furthermore, no credits that fall outside the lapsed-time rule (see time lapse limit in Common Academic Policies chart) may be counted toward the program. Petitions to Transfer Credits should be submitted by the end of the first semester of your program so that a decision may be rendered in time for you to plan your program.

Petitions should include official transcripts showing the credits earned if they are not already obtained during the Admissions process. In some cases, the Director of Academic Advisement may request that you supply course descriptions or syllabi to accompany the written request.

Transferring Field Education credits requires, in addition to transcripts, submission of all field education report documenting the field education experience and evaluation from the previous institution.
