FAQ:  Transferring Credits

Transferring Credits

Can I transfer graduate credits from other universities and apply them to my M.Ed. ELED Program?

[Please note that the M.Ed ELED program has a different policy than Towson University.]

Graduate students enrolled in the Master of Education in Elementary Education program may transfer a maximum of 9 credits of graduate-level course work required for their degree program. Additional credit may be accepted in special circumstances, with approval of the program director.

How do I transfer Graduate credits? 

Your advisor will complete a transfer of credit request to the Towson University Graduate Program Office on your behalf.  Towson University Graduate Programs require that you submit the following to your advisor: 1) an official transcript of the requested courses and 2) a copy of the catalog description from the university where the courses were taken. Submit the materials directly to your advisor, NOT to the TU Graduate Office. Your advisor will review the materials and forward them to the Graduate Office, which gives final approval.
