Transfer Credit

Students wishing to transfer credit for a course taken at another university must download the Transfer Credit Approval Form and send the form and a course syllabus to pscdusgwu [dot] edu (Professor Bauer).  If the course credit is approved, Dr. Bauer will return the transfer credit approval form to the student for submission to the Office of the Registrar for processing.

If the course taken for transfer is determined to have a GWU PSC equivalent, the credits will transfer in as that corresponding GW PSC course number. If the course is determined to not have a GWU PSC equivalent, but does meet criteria for GWU PSC credit, the course will be approved as a PSC 1099 or PSC 2099. PSC 2099 counts as an upper-level elective credit towards the major or minor, and multiple sections of PSC 2099 can count. We do not approve transfer or study abroad courses as PSC 3192W or PSC 3500 -- plan to take these through GWU.

Learn more about accepted transfer grades and credit limits on the Office of the Registrar website.
