4. Number three above is also applicable to courses taken
here at Bowie State University under the continuing
education program.
5. The courses for which transfer is sought must have been
completed with a grade of "B" or better and must be
relevant to courses and degree requirements offered in
the degree program to be pursued by the student. A
course accepted for transfer credit can only be viable for
use to satisfy program requirements seven years from the
date of completion. The seven years will include the date
on which the master’s degree program in which the
student enrolls at Bowie will be completed. A
representative of the graduate degree program makes the
decision on the transferability of a course.
6. Transfer of credits into a degree program may not be used
to offset required practicum or seminar courses.
7. Credits used to satisfy the requirements for one master's
degree may not be used for satisfying the requirements of
another master's degree.
8. Credits are not to be used for two degrees at either the
graduate or the undergraduate level.

Procedure:

I. Submit the following to the graduate advisor
a. Copy of the course description of course to be
transferred into Bowie State University
b. Official copy of transcript from institution at which
the course was taken reflecting the final grade earned
in the course.
II. The student’s advisor will review the course description to
determine if it will satisfy requirements of the degree program
and falls within the number of credits allowed for transfer.
III. The advisor will include the course on the student’s Program
of Study if the determination is made at the time the student
is starting the program. If a Program of Study has been
completed and accepted by the Graduate School then a
Change of Program form will be used to accept and reflect the
transfer course.
