In the case where a student is enrolled in the GC program and wants to move to the MA program, this procedure will be followed:

  1. The student will submit a written request to their academic advisor and the academic program coordinator.

  2. Depending on the length of time they have been in the program, an additional letter of recommendation may be requested.

  3. The academic program coordinator will circulate the request with the Admissions Committee for final approval of the internal transfer of program and then communicate the decision to the student and advisor.

  4. The student is responsible for the master's curriculum as it exists when they are admitted into the full master's program (not what it was when they began their graduate certificate studies).

Transfer credit

Transfer credits may be applied to a student’s program of study with the approval of the academic program coordinator, who will handle decisions on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the student’s advisor.

If a student wishes to pursue two graduate certificates - Conflict Transformation (CT) and Restorative Justice (RJ) - a total of 6 credit hours will be shared between the two programs.  The core (Foundations 1 OR Analysis: Understanding Conflict AND Formation for Peacebuilding Practice) will be satisfied for both programs. Outside of those 6 SH, the student will need to take the number of additional credit hours and the specific courses needed to satisfy GC requirements. If a student wishes to pursue a GC in CT alongside an MARJ or MATL, an additional 3 6 SH is required. If a student wishes to pursue a GC in RJ alongside the MACT or MATL, an additional 6 SH is required, and specific RJ requirements for the GC must be fulfilled. In the instance that a student has already taken courses that are required courses in the second program being added, they do not have to retake those courses but will need to select additional courses to fill out the required credit hours and meet their learning objectives. The academic program coordinator will review individual cases and can make a decision on a case-by-case basis to accept more credit hours. Especially in cases where a recent GC graduate (like WPLP) wishes to add on the MA degree, it may make sense to consider bringing in all the credits.
