Transfer Credits to Graduate Degree
The ECE department encourages students to transfer eligible credits immediately upon entering the graduate program to ensure that credits have not expired and that a student can properly prepare a plan for their degree.
Eligibility Criteria
In order for credit to be applied to toward a student’s graduate degree requirements and Program of Study, the credits must meet the following criteria:
- Are approved for transfer by the University of Utah ECE department
- Were 5000- level or higher, or otherwise considered graduate level coursework
- Were taken within 3 years of request for transfer approval
- Were from a course that received a B grade or higher; “credit only” grades cannot be transferred. This includes Graduate Seminar taken as a University of Utah undergraduate student.
- Were not applied towards a student’s previous undergraduate or graduate degree requirement. This includes credit from the University of Utah if it was previously used for a degree at another institution.
Instructions
When looking to transfer applicable credit to their graduate Program of Study students should contact the Graduate Student Coordinator with the required materials:
- Appropriate credit form filled out (see below). The Graduate Student Coordinator will collect the required department signatures.
