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.
