TRANSFER OF CREDIT
Petitions for transferring credit will be considered only when the work is necessary to fulfill degree requirements. The total number of units which students will be allowed to transfer onto their graduate record at UCR from other institutions cannot exceed one half the number of units needed for the graduate degree. Units from another University of California campus may be used to satisfy one of the three quarters of the residence requirement and may be counted for up to one-half the total units required for the UCR Master's degree. Department and Graduate Division approval must be obtained before such units can be accepted for credit. Work from an institution where a degree was received cannot be transferred. A maximum of eight-quarter units from institutions outside the University of California may be counted toward the Master's degree at UCR. All transfer work must have been completed in graduate standing with a minimum grade of "B." Department and Graduate Division approval must be obtained before these units can be accepted for credit. These units must be from an institution of recognized standing and cannot be used to reduce the minimum residency requirement or minimum requirement in 200 series courses taken at this University. These courses must apply to the graduate program in which the student is registered. Unit credit only is posted on the UCR transcript (grade points are not transferred). Work from an institution where a degree was received cannot be transferred. UCR undergraduates who have no more than two courses or eight units of course work remaining in their bachelor's programs and who have been admitted to graduate status may begin course work for their advanced degrees at the beginning of the final quarter of undergraduate study. Bringing Forward Units from Undergraduate Status requires that the students inform their College Offices before beginning the course work in question and that they petition the Graduate Division for credit once they are enrolled as a graduate student. Students may apply Summer Session course work from any University of California campus toward their graduate degree requirements if they have prior approval of their departments and of the Graduate Dean. Indicate the campus you will attend, the course(s) to be taken, the instructor(s), and if you wish to have the work appear on the UCR transcript. Once the course is completed, it is the student's responsibility to have a transcript sent to the Graduate Division. UCR Extension is considered an outside institution, but because "concurrent enrollment" courses (prefix XRC) are regularly offered UCR courses, students may transfer up to eight units of concurrent enrollment credit if a grade of "B" or better was received. However, students must have taken these units before their enrollment as graduate students. Matriculated graduate students may not use the University Extension concurrent enrollment mechanism. Graduate students who withdraw before completing their program objectives are required to wait one year before applying XRC courses to their degrees. (Please note that a student could transfer in eight additional units from the category "non-UC campuses" described above.) (Revised 3/2013)
