Students may petition to receive transfer credit for up to 3 courses (MBA) or 2 courses (MS), taken at other universities, or at the University of Rochester outside of Simon Business School. A maximum of 3 courses or 9 credit hours may be approved for transfer. Note that grades for transferred courses are not calculated into a student's cumulative GPA. Due to the integrative nature of the cohort system, no transfer credit is granted to full-time MBA or MS students for core courses. Only part-time students may petition for the transfer of core courses. The appropriate faculty area coordinator and the faculty director of graduate programs must approve all graduate courses taken outside of the Simon School for transfer credit.
