Prospective Students

Transfer of Credits

The College of Education does not accept transfer credits for Doctoral degrees. For more information regarding transferring credits into a Master’s program, please review the College of Education Graduate Handbook.

Procedures

  1. Complete one Graduate Course Credit Transfer Petition for each course that you wish to transfer into your master’s degree program.
  2. Complete all parts of the front of the form and secure the necessary signatures. (Please note: Departmental recommendations are used to inform the Registrar’s decision, but the Registrar is the final authority for the university.)
  3. Submit the completed petition form to the Office of the Registrar, along with all attachments. Students may also be asked for a statement from their former institution that the course has not been used toward a prior degree.
  4. Once a course has been approved for transfer, you must request that an official transcript be sent to: Office of the Registrar, Lehigh University, 27 Memorial Drive West, Bethlehem, PA 18015.
