Regis University accepts transfer students and transfer credits in many different ways, however, due to the nature of graduate study many graduate programs limit how many transfer credits may be applied from other institutions.
Of the total semester hours required for any one of the graduate degree programs, no more than 20% of the total semester hours required may include transfer/competency-based course work, or course work included in a previously earned graduate degree, from a transfer institution or from Regis University. Transfer credit is approved by the faculty or academic designee of each graduate program and is not available for all programs. In graduate programs for which transfer credit is permitted, transfer credit is awarded for graduate-level course work for which a grade of “B-” or better has been earned at other regionally accredited colleges and universities. Only credit completed within the last ten years is eligible for consideration.
