Readmission, Status and Transfer Policies

COURSE EXPIRATION RULE FOR ALL PROGRAMS

All degree requirements must be satisfied within six years commencing with the term of initial enrollment. A course taken more than six years prior to the last term of attendance before the degree date may be reinstated for graduate credit upon approval of the program director or the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business.

READMISSION
A student previously admitted who has been absent from DePaul for more than one year must submit an application for readmission, a resume, a brief and informal letter to explain the absence and transcripts of any courses taken elsewhere during the absence. If the original application has been destroyed or is otherwise unavailable, the student will be required to resubmit all of the forms and documents needed to complete an original application. Students will be required to complete the degree requirements current at the time of readmission. An application fee is required for readmission.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE STATUS
DePaul University defines full-time status as enrollment in eight or more graduate credit hours. Students enrolled for eight or more hours of graduate credit (usually two classes) at DePaul will be classified as full-time. Those enrolled for less are considered part-time. However, this classification by the university is separate from the college classification and external reporting for full-time and part-time programs.

TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDIT
A student entering the program with prior graduate-level course work in business may request acceptance of transfer credit. The number of courses actually transferable will be determined by the Charles H. Kellstadt Graduate School of Business. A maximum of six courses may be accepted as transfer credit. The actual number of transfer courses accepted will vary with each student in accordance with the residency requirement policy and the course waiver policy. The transferability of graduate level course work is decided by the admission committee at admission. However, in cases involving unfamiliar courses to be considered for transfer, it may be necessary to submit a request for acceptance of transfer credit containing a course description, syllabus or other supporting documentation as directed by the committee.

Courses with grades less than C will not be considered for transfer to the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business. Ordinarily a course must carry at least four quarter hours of graduate credit to be acceptable for transfer. No more than two courses are acceptable for transfer in any one field without the written permission of the appropriate program director. Transfer credit is not calculated into the student’s cumulative grade point average. Transfer credit is subject to the same six-year limit for validity as courses taken in residence at DePaul.
