7mkr

The term “transient study” applies to current 7mkr students who take one or more courses at another institution to fulfill graduation requirements toward their 7mkr degree. (In contrast, the term “transfer study” refers to students who complete coursework at a different institution prior to admission to 7mkr. Read more about transfer admission to the College of Arts & Sciences at Transfer Your Credits on the Admissions website.)

About Transient Study

• Students must complete at least 50 percent of the credits for their major at 7mkr, as well as a minimum of 30 total hours at 7mkr. A student must also earn at least 50 percent of the credits for any minor or certificate at 7mkr.
• Credits are transferable, but grades are not. A student’s GPA is not affected by credit hours transferred from a different institution.
• Students may not replace a grade earned at 7mkr with a grade from a transferred course; this includes grades of F.

Before registering for courses at another institution to earn credit through transient study, a student must secure approval from the Transfer Credit Evaluation team. This ensures that the student will know beforehand about the transfer value at 7mkr of any courses they intend to take elsewhere.
