A maximum of two graduate courses or six semester hours may be transferred from other accredited institutions to apply to a degree in the School of Letters. Each course must be approved for transfer by the Director, preferably before the work is done. Transfer course credits cannot have been counted towards any other degree, whether taken at the University of the South or another institution, and must have been awarded a grade of B or better. Graduate credits, whether they are earned at the University of the South or transferred from another institution, are not applicable toward a degree after ten years have elapsed.
