Graduate Policies

Graduate students may transfer courses completed at a regionally-accredited institution with a grade of “B” or better and not older than 7 years as follows:

9 semester credit hours for a 36-44 hour degree; 12 semester credit hours for a 45-50 hour degree; and 15 semester credit hours for a 60 hour degree.   Additional hours may be transferred into Ottawa University graduate programs of 50 semester credit hours or more with departmental approval.

Students with a Master’s degree from another regionally accredited institution containing coursework applicable to counseling may petition to transfer up to 30 semester credit hours of approved coursework toward Ottawa University’s 50 to 60 semester credit hour professional counseling program.

Graduate credits recommended from the American Council of Education (ACE) for non-collegiate training programs transfer directly, provided that the student submits official documentation of completion to the University Registrar.
