Transfer Credits

Transferring Credits to UNMC

• When taking a class at a school not part of the NU system, it is your responsibility to request a transcript be sent to UNMC to ensure the class is added to your UNMC transcript.
• Before taking a class you intend to transfer for credit, confirm the class is acceptable for your program by consulting with your academic advisor. Click for a complete list of courses approved for transfer to UNMC College of Nursing.
• If a course is not listed on the list, the student should talk to his/her advisor first about requesting a transfer of course credit.
• The student will need to give their advisor a current course description of the course they want to transfer. In some instances additional material, such as a syllabus or student project, may be required.
• A course instructor will review the material and send a recommendation to the Graduate Committee.
• Following Graduate Committee approval, a recommendation is submitted to the Dean of the Graduate College for final approval.
• All courses presented for transfer must meet the Graduate College policy that all coursework for the master’s degree must be completed within 5 years prior to graduation.
