Transfer Credit Policy
Graduate Policy: Degree requirements may be satisfied by up to 15 semester-credit hours of transfer credit in a particular degree program. Students pursuing a graduate certificate may apply transfer credit for up to 50% of the certificate’s credit hours. Students attending a California location may receive transfer credit for up to 20% of the degree program’s credit hours.
Students seeking multiple degrees must meet all course requirements for each degree as well as a minimum of 18 semester-credit hours beyond those required for the prior degree. Students seeking multiple certificates must satisfy residency requirements (see the Keller graduate academic catalog for more information about residency requirements).
All 600-level courses, including capstone courses, must be taken through DeVry University.
Students enrolled in the MSAC program are subject to a 24-semester-credit-hour residency requirement that includes a maximum of six semester-credit hours that may be transferred. Transfer credit cannot be applied to ACCT525.
To receive transfer credit, the following criteria must be met:
- The course or courses taken were for graduate credit while the student was enrolled as a graduate student
- The course or courses taken are equivalent to a Keller course in content, level and credit hours
- The grade or grades earned were B or better
- The course or courses were completed within the five years preceding initial enrollment at the University
Courses taken on a pass/fail basis may not be transferred. Transfer credit reduces the number of courses students must take, and correspondingly reduces students’ costs. This credit does not affect grade point average calculations. Students pursuing graduate certificates may transfer a maximum of 50% of the graduate certificate’s credit hours to their certificate’s total credit hour requirements. Transfer credit is not granted for CPA exam preparation courses.
Students who receive transfer credit for a course are not automatically granted associated credit for prerequisite courses.
Students must complete a Request for Transfer Credit form and submit it to the admissions advisor (admissions representative in Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska and online), or student support advisor or academic advisor, with all required materials when applying to receive transfer credit. Students should check with their admissions representative/student support advisor/academic advisor for more detailed information.
Articulation agreements facilitate ease of transferring credits among institutions. DeVry University maintains articulation agreements with many colleges and universities, as well as with entities such as the military.
The University awards transfer credit, as appropriate, based on recommendations of the American Council on Education College Credit Recommendation Service, which evaluates workforce and military training programs to determine their comparability to college-level learning. To earn credit, students must earn the minimum ACE-recommended score or higher. Additional information on workforce and military training recommendations is available via the National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training and the ACE Military Guide Online, respectively.
Students using veterans benefits are required to submit official transcripts of all previous education and training to DeVry University. DeVry University maintains a written record of previous undergraduate and graduate education completed by veterans and all persons eligible for veterans benefits. A copy of official transcripts used to evaluate transfer credit is maintained in students’ permanent records. This record, required for either program admission or transfer-credit review, clearly indicates when appropriate transfer credit has been given. Credit for up to 15 semester-credit hours may be transferred into a DeVry University graduate program. Students attending a California location may receive transfer credit for up to 20% of the degree program’s credit hours. Veterans enrolled in a DeVry University course for which credit has already been earned at a University-recognized institution cannot include that course in the total hours reported to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It is students’ responsibility to be aware of prior credit eligible for transfer.
