Transfer Credits
Graduate students transferring from other institutions of higher learning are governed by the following transfer credit policy.
- The Program Director shall determine the acceptance of specific seminars/courses in satisfaction of a Norwich degree requirement.
- Seminars/courses in which a grade of less than B or its equivalent has been earned are not transferable (the grade must be equivalent to 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale).
- Grade points will not be transferred.
- To be considered for transfer credit, such credit cannot be more than ten (10) years old at the time a Norwich University degree is conferred.
- Credit will transfer only from regionally accredited institutions of higher learning.
- Limits on the amount of transfer credits apply. At least two thirds of the required credits for a master's degree must be earned at Norwich. There are exceptions to this policy as they pertain to established articulation agreements with specific institutions.
Academic work accomplished at other regionally accredited institutions will be reviewed for Norwich course equivalency. The posting of transfer credit for approved seminars/courses will be undertaken only upon receipt of an official transcript and other documentation as required by the Program Director. An official transcript is one that corresponds with the credit granting institution's definition of "official" and is received directly from that institution by Norwich University's School of Graduate and Continuing Studies.
Norwich University complies with Veterans Administration regulations and guidelines as they pertain to transfer credits.
Substitute credits from any "Special Topics" seminars taken at Norwich University can be used to satisfy degree credit, however, the total of substitute credits AND transfer credits combined cannot exceed one third of the total credits earned for the degree. There are exceptions to this policy as they pertain to established articulation agreements with specific institutions.
