Graduate level course credits earned at an institution accredited by the Association of Theological Schools Commission on Accrediting or a regional educational commission for which the student has earned a grade of 2.70 (B–) or better—or granted an exception in specifically validated circumstances by the Dean of the Seminary—may be accepted toward completion of a United degree.
Course credits from another institution that did not count towards a completed degree may be applied to a maximum of two-thirds of the required course credits for a United degree. Transfer course credits that counted towards a completed degree at another institution may be applied to a maximum of one-half of the required course credits for a United degree. Credits from United courses that count towards a United degree, either completed or in progress, may be applied to a maximum of two-thirds of the required course credits for a second United degree. In any combination of cases, at least one-third of the required course credits for a United degree must be completed at United and must be applied exclusively to that degree.
Transfer credits from another institution shall only be accepted towards a United degree for courses completed no more than seven years prior to enrollment in a United degree program. Credits from degree courses that a student completed at United prior to enrollment in a degree program shall be automatically accepted with no age limit prior to enrollment, but these courses shall be reviewed as needed to determine applicability to current degree and concentration course requirements.
Please see the Transfer Course Credit, Advanced Standing, and Concurrent Enrollment section of the Student Handbook on the Academic Resources page for details on all opportunities for applicants to apply course credits from another institution towards a United degree.
