Transferring Doctoral Credits from Other Institutions

Students who have begun doctoral studies at another institution may transfer up to six doctoral credits toward coursework in addition to the transfer of credits for the cognate requirement.

• The course must be duplicative of a doctoral core course required within the Molloy Ed.D. Program.
• The course must have been taken within the past 5 years.
• The course may have been part of a doctoral degree or may have been part of an advanced certificate or second master’s degree in Educational Leadership during which an administrative School Building Leader (SBL) or School District Leader (SDL) license was earned.
• The student must have taken the course at an accredited institution.
• The student must have earned a grade of "B" or above.
• A student requesting transfer of credit should submit the request for an official copy of the transcript and a copy of the course syllabus to the Director of the Ed.D. Program. An official transcript must also be on file in the Registrar's Office.
• If a doctoral core course is waived due to credit transfers, the doctoral student may be required to audit that course to ensure the integrity of the Molloy University doctoral experience.

All transfers of credit must be approved by the Graduate Program Director of the Ed. D. Program and the Office of the Registrar.
