Incoming Master’s Degree students are allowed to transfer six (6) semester hours of credit earned from another accredited graduate program into their English Department Permanent Program, as long as the credits were paid for as graduate credits, were awarded a B (3.0) or higher, and were earned within six (6) years prior to the student’s date of admission into the WMU graduate program.
In order to add transfer credits, a student should meet with the Graduate Director and fill out a Transfer of Credit form that will be sent to the Registrar’s Office for approval. If the hours are approved, they are placed on the student’s Permanent Program; the grades are recorded as CR (Credit) and do not factor into the student’s overall GPA.
