POLICY 


Transfer of Credit 

 
In Short: Manner in which a graduate student should request a transfer of 
previously completed graduate credit towards the master’s degree being 
sought at Lehman. 

 
The following transfer credit regulations apply to all matriculated Lehman College 
graduate students: 

 
. Maximum of twelve (12) credits in total may be transferred toward a Lehman 
      master's degree. 

. Only six (6) credits counted toward a previously awarded master's degree are 
      eligible for transfer. 

. Courses must be graduate-level and must be taken at accredited institutions 
      offering master's degree programs. 

. Grades of (B) or better in courses taken outside of Lehman College are required 
      for eligibility. 
 
. Courses taken more than five (5) years prior to matriculation at Lehman will not 
      be considered for transfer. 

. Capstone clinical experiences such as student teaching, internship, or 
      practicum in education, theses, and other, culminating master's degree 
      projects taken at Lehman College or at institutions outside of Lehman are not 
      considered for transfer to Lehman College master's degree programs. 

. Students matriculated in Social Work may request transfer credits only toward 
      the special topics/elective requirement. 


When students have taken more than (12) credits prior to matriculation, Lehman College 
courses will be given priority, provided they meet the College's requirements.
