Transfer Credits
Credit for graduate courses completed at another accredited institution may be applied toward a master's degree at UT Permian Basin. A maximum of six semester credits may be transferred for the student's program and approved by the student's advisor. The advisor must complete a Graduate Transfer Credit Request form.
Three additional credits may be transferred (total of 9 credit hours) upon approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies. The advisor must complete a petition and a Graduate Transfer Credit Request Form.
Requests for more than a total of 9 semester hours of transfer credit must go to the Graduate Council for a decision. The advisor must complete a petition and a Graduate Transfer Credit Request Form.
No course credit with a grade of C or lower may be transferred to UT Permian Basin. No undergraduate course work taken at another university, even when taken for graduate credit, may be transferred to UT Permian Basin. All credit transfers must be approved after acceptance to a graduate program and prior to the student's completion of 12 semester credit hours at UT Permian Basin. It is the student's responsibility to initiate the approval process.
Should the advisor and/or the Dean of Graduate Studies not approve the transfer of any credits, the student has the right to submit a petition to the Graduate Council, which will make the final decision.
To ensure acceptance of transfer credit toward the master's degree, the student must obtain prior written approval from the student's advisor for any courses taken at another institution after the student has matriculated at the University.
No correspondence study credits apply toward the minimum requirements for the master's degree, and no credit more than 8 years old at the time of graduation may be applied toward requirements for the degree. A maximum of 6 credits of approved extension course work, whether completed through the University or at another institution, may be applied toward meeting minimum requirements for the master's degree.
Web-based courses offered through UT System Consortia agreements may be governed by specific program guidelines. Students should consult their program head for details.
