Transfer of Credit: The Graduate College
Subject to the approval of the major advisor and the division director, graduate level courses taken at other institutions may be applied to the graduate degree requirements at Rush if they are judged to meet divisional requirements. Grades from courses transferred from another institution are not recorded on the student's academic record; the number of credits is recorded and added to the cumulative number of credits.
