Pre-approval Transfer Credit

Occasionally it is necessary for graduate students to complete course work at another university or institution. In this event pre-approval is required to ensure that the course work will transfer and count toward a CMU degree. Pre-approval transfer credit is available for students who have NOT yet completed course work at another institution.
