Transfer Credit

An applicant enrolled in a recognized and regionally accredited graduate school may transfer a maximum of six semester hours to master’s level programs or the Ed.D. program with the approval of the Registrar and the appropriate program director, department chair, or dean. No transfer credit is allowed in the Ed.S program. Transfer credit is not automatic. The transfer credit must be appropriate to the applicant’s planned program and carry a grade of at least “B.” Credit for graduate course work at Piedmont College or any other institution will be honored for a period of six years from the date of course completion. However, no course may be older than six years at the time of graduation. Piedmont College does not accept transfers for Capstone or Orientation in the School of Education Program. No credit is allowed toward graduate degrees for courses taken by correspondence or through Professional Learning Units (PLUs).

Note: The six-year rule is applied at the end of the semester (i.e. a fall 2015 course expires at the end of the fall 2021 semester).
