Transfer Credit Guidelines

Transfer of credit to LIM College involves consideration of comparability of coursework and applicability of that coursework to a current LIM College graduate degree program. The maximum number of transfer credits awarded towards a graduate degree is six (6) credits. 

In addition, the following applies: 

1. Graduate courses presented must have been earned at an institution authorized to grant graduate degrees. 

2. Graduate courses presented must be appropriate to the student’s graduate program and must be analogous to a course required or an elective of that program. 

3. Graduate courses presented for transfer must have been taken within 10 years of application to LIM College. 

4. . Graduate courses presented must have been completed with grades of B or better. 

5. Graduate courses accepted for transfer credit are not used in computing the student’s academic average and cannot be used as grade replacements for courses taken at LIM College. 

6. Graduate credit based upon internships, externships, portfolio, or other experiential learning 
   bases will not be considered for transfer. 

7. Transcripts of coursework not earned through a US institution or through an established exchange or articulation agreement with LIM College must be evaluated through a NACES approved evaluation service.

Students interested in the possible transfer of credits should contact the Office of the Registrar.
