Policies

Students who completed graduate coursework at another institution are encouraged to submit relevant transcripts in the winter quarter of their first year of doctoral study. The Director of Graduate Studies will evaluate the transfer of units on a course-by-course basis. Graduate work accepted for transfer of residency does not automatically exempt a student from completing a course requirement for the degree.

Students may request to count prior graduate-level coursework toward the AU requirement. The advisor should support the request, and the undergraduate course must be substantive and relevant to the student’s graduate research.
