Students are responsible for fulfilling the requirements of the given degree program in which they are registered. In order to change from one degree program to another, a student must submit a complete application to the new program. If the degrees are housed in the same department, and the change is made over consecutive quarter enrollments, the application fee is waived. If the new degree program is in a different administrative program, the student is responsible for paying the application fee. A student cannot graduate from a program that is different from the one into which they are officially accepted and in which university records show them to be matriculated.
A program can accept up to 50% of the graduate credits required for the master’s degree into the program to which the student is transferring from the graduate program at the University of Cincinnati from which the student is transferring. A doctoral degree requires a minimum of 135 graduate credits, or 90 graduate credits beyond a master's degree. The last 45 of which must be completed in the program that grants the degree at the University of Cincinnati.
The maximum number of credits that a student can transfer from unclassified (or undeclared major) status at University of Cincinnati to a specific degree program is 15. If students must take undergraduate courses to satisfy prerequisites, the student may be accepted by the program on a provisional basis contingent on satisfying those prerequisites. In all of these cases, the program should indicate on the Transfer of University of Cincinnati Credit Form which transfer credits are accepted. These procedures ensure the student will be successfully transferred into the new program and the integrity of student records will be maintained.
Admission Categories
Full graduate status may be granted to an applicant who meets the criteria discussed in the Admissions Policies and is accepted by the program.
Unclassified graduate status allows nonmatriculated students to take courses for graduate credit when they have not been admitted into a graduate degree program.
Should the student subsequently matriculate into a program, the number of credits a degree program accepts toward the degree requirements from the student under this classification ordinarily may not exceed 15.
However, final determination of what credits are accepted will be made by the individual program.
