No credit can be given for work which was applied to an undergraduate degree. Such work, however, may be the basis for waiving an introductory level course (300 level) and taking an advanced course in the same area. Students must secure faculty permission from a regular Northern faculty member teaching in the discipline. Written notification to the Registrar is required, stating the courses waived and approval for substitution.
Transferring from Other Graduate Programs
Only work done at ATS-accredited schools which has been approved by the Registrar as appropriate to the degree program to be pursued can be transferred. Only B level grades or better will be considered for transfer. In case of course work more than ten years old, students must provide a copy of the catalog and syllabus or its equivalent for determination by the Registrar.
A course taken at another institution which is judged by the Registrar to be an equivalent to a Northern course may be substituted. When the equivalency to a Northern course is questioned, the student may be asked to submit a course waiver request, which requires the syllabus for the course in question, the approval of the professor from the discipline in question and the Registrar.
The maximum of transfer credit from a conferred degree is half of the hours earned in that degree. At the same time, a student must complete a minimum of one-half of the M.Div program (fifty-one quarter hours) or one-half of M.A.C.M., a two year degree program (thirty hours) at Northern to receive a degree. Transfer credit permitted for the M.A. program is limited to 30 hours.
