You must contact the Weatherhead School of Management's registrar to initiate a request for transfer credit for a course to be taken at another university.

Approval of coursework is acknowledged in writing. An official transcript from the other school, mailed directly to the Weatherhead School of Management's registrar, must be on file before the transfer of credit can be completed. Graduate courses counted toward another degree are not eligible for transfer credit.
