116 Publication of Transfer Policies

Transfer students who wish to have credit evaluated toward an MSC degree must provide an official transcript from each accredited institution.  Transcripts must be sealed or received electronically from the college or approved transcript clearing house.  Once transfer credit is awarded, it becomes part of the student’s MSC permanent record and will not be removed.  Transfer students who have been dismissed from other colleges from disciplinary purposes will undergo review to determine if they will be admitted.

MSC addresses both “Transfer in Students” and “Transfer Out Students” in the college catalog.  Furthermore, the Admissions/Registrations staff inform students of transferring in credits and sending transcripts to other colleges. Via the MSC website under Administration select Registrar’s Office to obtain information regarding transcript requests.  The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education provides students with articulation of transfer coursework from MSC to another institution with which the College has an articulation agreement.  To access this information please utilize the Transfer Matrix listed under Course Transfer on the OSRHE website.

In addition to the above information, Murray State outlines its Graduation Requirements in the College Catalog, and in this section, it is explained that students must “complete a minimum of 15 of the last 21 hours taken with MSC, except for certificate programs.  This statement indicates to students that remaining course requirements for a degree can be completed and transferred from another accredited institution.
