Transfer of Graduate Credit

All transfer of credit decisions made by the program director are final. 

Students wishing to waive or transfer any course from inside or outside an accredited university must have earned a minimum grade of B in the course and leveled appropriately for the degree. Course(s) must have been completed and a grade received within five years of starting the degree program (first day of first term of enrollment) at JHSON. The course must have the equivalent number of credits or higher for transfer review. 

The request to transfer credit must be concluded prior to the second semester registration period. If a student needs to take a course outside JHU once they have matriculated at the JHSON, they must obtain preauthorization prior to registering for the course.  

For students who have taken graduate core courses at Johns Hopkins School of Nursing (listed above) within five years of starting a new degree program (first day of first term of enrollment), students need to notify program directors regarding credit waiver. Students need to work with program administrators regarding courses being waived. 

It is the student’s responsibility to work with the Office of Financial Aid to determine if any changes to the plan of study will change eligibility for financial aid. Students receiving VA benefits should also contact the Office of Student Enrollment and Account Management (SEAM) to determine if changes to the plan of study will change eligibility for these benefits.
