Due to the uniqueness of the curriculum, the ICDL Graduate School only accepts a maximum of 10 transferring credits. Transfer credits can be applied to research courses (IMH 501-504) and/or to courses in which the student has demonstrated proficiency due to their previous professional education and training (e.g. IMH 203, language development for students with a Master’s degree in language pathology).

The ICDL Graduate School carefully evaluates transfer requests to ensure equivalency between the courses previously taken at another institution and the course requirements for the degrees offered by the ICDL Graduate School.  The student need to provide detailed information regarding each accredited course for which a transfer is requested, including a complete syllabus, transcripts, and teacher contact information.

Eligible transfer courses must have been:

• Taken within the last five years in an accredited college or university
• Successfully completed with a grade B or above and,
• The content of the transferred course syllabus must matches at least 80% of the content described in the syllabus of the appropriate course offered by the ICDL Graduate School. 

In addition, the Chief Academic Officer evaluates whether the student is able to elaborate on any of the contents of the course.  The Chief Academic Officer monitors the evaluation and implementation of all transfer credit decisions.
