COURSE EXPIRATION POLICY 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 academic program director or the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business.
STUDENT ATTENDANCE STATUS AND 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. A non-refundable application fee is required for readmission.
TRANSFER OF GRADUATE CREDIT
A student entering the program with prior graduate-level coursework in business must submit a written request for 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 written request for acceptance of transfer credit must contain a course description or syllabus. In addition, a bulletin, course catalog or statement of the school’s academic regulations may sometimes be required before a final decision of transferability can be made. In such cases the Kellstadt Graduate School of Business will specifically request the additional material or information required for a decision.
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 expiration policy as courses taken in residence at DePaul.
