Transferring Credit into SPH - Graduate Students Only

See the Transfer Credit Request (PDF) form, which includes guidelines. You may not transfer in courses that were used to complete degree requirements for another degree. You will be asked to produce a letter from your previous institution/department that states the credits you are attempting to transfer were not used for a previous degree.  You will also be asked to provide an official transcript from your previous institution/department.  

Up to one-half (1/2) of the minimum number of credit hours required for a degree program in SPH may be transferred to a student's record from Inter-University and Intra-University sources combined. The student must, therefore, be admitted and enrolled in SPH while obtaining at least 50 percent of the credits necessary for the SPH degree, though students enrolled in an SPH/Rackham degree program and wishing to transfer to an SPH degree program are exempted from this requirement. Credits transferred from courses taken prior to enrollment in SPH must generally include no more than six hours of graduate credit obtained from other accredited schools and universities, and no more than ten hours of extension credits and credits from other institutions combined. The transfer of Intra-University credit appears on the SPH academic record and the associated grades received for this credit also appear and are computed in the student's cumulative GPA. Intra-University credit may be transferred only for approved graduate-level courses if all of the following conditions are met:

Receipt in the Office of Student Affairs, SPH, of a transcript from the unit(s) giving the courses, and
Approval of the student's SPH department or program chair.
Courses cannot be transferred for credit if:

Already applied toward another degree,
Taken more than five (5) years prior to entering the present SPH program, or
A grade below a "B" was earned.
