Generally, up to 24 SCH of graduate work completed elsewhere may be transferred toward a Doctor of Philosophy degree, depending on the student's previous preparation and degree plan. Doctoral students may request approval of additional transfer credit in writing to the dean. Only those courses with a grade of B or higher will be transferred.
Extension or correspondence credit earned at other institutions may not be counted toward a graduate degree at UNT Health Science Center. The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences does not award credit for portfolio-based experiential learning.
It is the student's responsibility to insure that official transcripts of courses completed elsewhere are furnished to the office of the graduate dean and that graduate credit has been assigned by the other institution or institutions to whatever courses are to be counted toward the health science center degree. The student must provide the catalog description and/or the syllabus from the semester the course was taken before transfer credit will be approved. Such courses, although listed on the health science center degree plan, will not be counted toward the degree until official transcripts showing graduate credit have been received and the credit has been approved by the graduate dean. All transfer courses are subject to the time limitation described above.
In accordance with the rules of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, at least one-third of the semester credit hours required for any graduate degree must be completed in course work on the campus of UNT Health Science Center.
