Transfer Credits
Up to six (6) credit hours (points) of acceptable graduate-level academic work from an accredited academic
institution earned prior to enrolling at Columbia, but which has not been used towards the award of another
degree, may be transferred to Columbia, subject to the CVN program advisor’s approval. Please completely fill
out the Transfer Credit Request Form. Please note that students must include the transfer Credit Request form
along with their Admission Application for the MS or PD program, that credit will only be considered for transfer
if the grades earned were at least 3.0 on the 4.0 scale, and that an official college transcript and copy of
the class syllabus and/or course description from the school’s bulletin must accompany the “Transfer of Credit
Request” form. Also, please be sure to obtain a letter on official letterhead from the University from which you
earned the courses you’d like to transfer, that states that these courses were not used previously towards
completion of any other degree.
