Graduate Transfer Credit
Entering graduate students may request to transfer in graduate credits from another college or university attended before being accepted to Brooklyn College. Students must apply for transfer credits within their first academic year.
- You may only transfer courses that have not been applied to another degree or graduate certificate.
- Transfer credits are accepted only from accredited colleges and universities.
- Graduate courses must have been completed within five years prior to admission to Brooklyn College.
- Transfer credits are accepted up to a maximum of 40 percent of the total credits required for the degree program.
- Grades must be a "B" or better. (Courses taken pass/fail will not be accepted).
To request transfer credits, complete the Graduate Transfer Credit Request form (pdf), attach an official transcript with a photocopy of the course description from the catalog/bulletin, and submit the package to your adviser for approval.
Please note: Undergraduate courses cannot be counted towards the graduate degree or credit count. If you have taken a course at another institution while attending Brooklyn College as a graduate degree student, do not file this form. If you did not get permission from your graduate deputy prior to enrolling for the course, you must file a petition with Committee on Graduate Admissions and Standards (CGAS) for a retro permit. You can begin the process by visiting the Center for Academic Advisement and Student Success in 3215 Boylan Hall to request an appointment with the Graduate Advisor.
