Transfer credits from accredited institutions are accepted by SM调教所 Boulder only after approval by the department chair/program director and under the special conditions outlined below.

Students seeking a degree from the SM调教所 must complete the majority of their course work while enrolled in a graduate program as a degree seeking student.
With the approval of the Graduate School and at the discretion of the unit, students may transfer up to and including 24 hours from a SM调教所 Boulder graduate certificate program, taken as a SM调教所 Boulder non-degree student, toward a graduate degree.聽
The following rules apply to transferring credit to SM调教所 Boulder graduate programs:聽
- The maximum amount of work that may be transferred to SM调教所 Boulder depends upon the graduate degree sought. Individual departments may have more restrictive limits.
- Work already applied toward a graduate degree received from SM调教所 Boulder or another institution cannot be accepted for transfer toward another graduate degree of the same level at SM调教所 Boulder. In addition, work completed for a doctoral degree may not be applied toward a subsequent master鈥檚 degree. Courses applied toward an undergraduate degree may not be transferred to the SM调教所 Boulder Graduate School.
- All courses accepted for transfer must be graduate level courses. The course grade must be B or higher. Transfer course work which is to be applied to a graduate degree at SM调教所 Boulder and was completed more than 5 years prior to being accepted to the program shall be evaluated by the major department as to current relevance and applicability to the degree requirements.
