Transfer Credit Policy
Committees for each program decide the number of outside credits that may be transferred for program completion prior to beginning study at the Institute (see program totals below). (The Petition for Course Replacement Form is available online in the Registrar's section.) When transfer credit is approved, it will be assigned to the appropriate MGH Institute course. A grade of "TR" for that course will be recorded on the student transcript and no fees will be charged.
Transfer credit will not be allowed in the following situations:
- If the transfer credit requests comes from institutions or programs that lack appropriate accreditation
- If the student received a grade of less than B in the course requested for transfer
- If the course requested for transfer was counted toward another degree
