Transferability of credits from another institution to Barry is at the discretion of the dean (or his/her designee). The number of credits acceptable for transfer from another institution toward a Barry graduate degree is limited to six (6) credits. Previously earned credits, if accepted for transfer must be completed in less than the (5) year period immediately preceding initial enrollment at Barry.
- Only relevant courses will be transferred at the beginning
- Only courses for which a grade of A or B was earned will be considered
- Only credits will be transferred, not grades or grade point averages
- Credits used to earn a degree at another institution will not be accepted
The academic advisor will facilitate the process for the acceptance of graduate credit to be transferred into Barry University prior to the end of the student's first year in the Barry graduate program.
