Submitting Transfer Credit for Graduate School Approval
A Transfer Credit request form must be completed (including the DGP’s signature) and submitted to the Graduate School. The form may be found on the Graduate School Forms page. An official transcript indicating the work to be transferred must accompany the form if it is not already on file with the Graduate School. The University requires that official copies of transcripts that document all prior degrees be on file in the student's permanent record at NC State. Students are required to provide the Graduate School with official copies of their latest transcript(s) from all universities (official translation required for non-English transcripts) from which the applicant had any degrees awarded, no later than the last day of classes of the first semester they are enrolled.

Limitations
You may transfer up to 12 credit hours to a master’s program.
