Transfer Units
All M.S. students have the option to transfer a maximum of 6 semester or 9 quarter units from an accredited institution into their degree program with their advisor’s approval. Please keep the following in mind when transferring units:
- Only those courses completed with a C grade or better will be eligible for transfer.
- Extension courses may not be transferred.
- The units may not have been used for another degree.
- Only the credit will transfer, but not grades so your overall grade point average will be based on coursework completed at Santa Clara University only.
- An official transcript is required for verification of the units by the student’s advisor and Engineering Graduate Programs.
In order to transfer units into a degree program, please follow this procedure:
- Include those units you wish to transfer in the “Transfer Credit” section of the Program of Studies form and include the Institution name, Course number and name, Grade, Units* and Year. (*Please note that 1 semester unit is equivalent to 1.5 quarter units. Please put the quarter unit value on your Program of Studies so that the final total will be correct.)
- Have your academic advisor sign the Program of Studies and submit it to Engineering Graduate Programs.
