Credit for graduate work completed at other accredited institutions may be offered in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree at Rensselaer when the work is appropriate to the student's program. As a rule, this work will have been earned prior to admission at Rensselaer. Students already enrolled at Rensselaer who wish to take courses elsewhere must obtain the prior approval of his or her adviser and the Dean of Graduate Education.

Matriculated students may transfer in a maximum of six transfer credits toward a Rensselaer master's degree. A grade of "B" or better is required for transfer. A course must be pre-approved by a faculty member and the academic advisor, as well as the Graduate Education Office, in order to be used on the student's Plan of Study.

The Transfer Credit Approval form is available at www.rpi.edu/dept/srfs/transfer_credit_approval.pdf. Print out and complete the form and submit to your Rensselaer point of contact for processing.
