Transferring Undergraduate Credit-Matriculated Students
This section applies to currently matriculated Lesley undergraduate students. Transfer of credit information for incoming students may be found in the "Admissions" section of this catalog.
A matriculated Lesley student in good standing may enroll in a course at another regionally-accredited college during the academic year, or summer. The following conditions govern the transfer of credit earned at another institution, to Lesley.
- Up to 90 transfer credits may be applied toward Lesley’s 120-credit BA, BAL, BS, or BSW programs and up to 66 credits may be applied to BFA programs
- A grade of C- (C minus) or better is necessary for transfer of credit; letter grades for transfer are not recorded on the student's permanent record. Grades of "P" (Pass) will be accepted for transfer.
- Students must meet with their advisor to determine the appropriate courses for their program of study prior to submission of the transfer approval form to the Office of Academic Advising.
- Upon completion of courses, students must request in writing an official transcript from the college/university where courses were completed to be sent to the Lesley University Office of the Registrar.
- Students may not complete degree requirements using transfer credits during their final semester. All transfer credits must be received and officially posted to the student’s academic record prior to the semester in which they intend to graduate. To be eligible for degree conferral, students must also be registered at Lesley University for institutional credit during their final semester, and that credit must apply toward their degree requirements.
