MHR Transfer Credit Guidelines

• MHR students may transfer no more than 9 hours of graduate credit from other universities. These credits must be evaluated by the university. They may not be applied toward individual course requirements without prior graduate liaison approval.
• Other OU Graduate Classes: No more than 9 hours of graduate credit taken in other OU programs may be used toward the MHR degree. These hours must be approved by the MHR graduate liaison.
• MHR students may not apply more than 9 combined hours of transfer credit and OU credit outside the HR program.
• A letter must accompany all transfer hours from the school-of-origin stating which LPC course requirement the course(s) fulfill. These transfer hours will then get departmental approval.
• At least 39 hours of a student's coursework must be in classroom-based HR classes. Internship is not classroom-based and therefore cannot be counted as part of the 39 hours of classroom-based work. Other University of Oklahoma courses and transfer hours do not count as part of these 39 hours.
