A transfer student is defined as a student who enters TMU with at least 24 semester units (36 quarter units) of accepted college level coursework from another college or university.
College-level credit earned prior to high school graduation, as well as any credit by examination, does not count toward determining whether a student has reached transfer status.
Coursework completed after initial entry will not change this status.
TMU grants credit for college-level coursework from other colleges and universities based on the following criteria:
Good standing
The student must have good standing at the institutions previously attended. Students who have been dismissed or suspended from another college for disciplinary reasons must request that a letter be sent by the dean of the college involved, detailing the reasons for such dismissal. Minimum grade requirement No courses will be transferred in which the grade earned was less than C (2.0). Credit will be given for accepted courses that will apply to the student’s course of study at The Master’s University.
Examination: 32 units max
Military: 45 units max. 30 units max towards TMU G.E. requirements.
Life Experience: 24 units max
Students transferring ≤60 units must complete all 21 units of the Biblical Studies G.E. curriculum prior to graduation.
Students transferring ≥61 units will only need to satisfy one Bible G.E. course per full-time semester of enrollment starting
with their first traditional undergraduate semester until graduation.
For students transferring ≥ 61 units the first four Bible G.E. courses must be:
Some Bible coursework at other institutions may be accepted by the Registrar’s office to satisfy TMU’s G.E. requirements.
Please contact the Registrar’s office for more information.
