Transfer Credit Policy
Admitted students may be able to transfer a total of 6 semester hours (2 courses) of graduate coursework to JU from a comparable regionally accredited academic institution and in accordance with JU course transfer policy. The credit must be in courses similar in content and rigor to Jacksonville University's Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) Program, and the grade must be at least a "B". Students are advised to discuss any transfer courses with the Program Director, who will determine if and which courses may be applicable. To be eligible for transfer credit, the student must request the credit and submit a transcript, as well as catalog description of the course to the CMHC Program Director during the application process. Transfer credit will only be awarded at the time of acceptance into the graduate program. This request must be approved by the graduate program director who will submit a request for the transfer credit to the Registrar and placed in the student’s file. Nonadmitted Students Seeking Course Enrollment - Individuals sometimes request to register for courses in order to achieve eligibility for mental health counseling licensure in Florida. Those individuals seeking licensure courses are required to submit: (a) a copy of the official letter from the Florida licensing board noting their eligibility status and specifying courses needed, (b) proof of completion of a current certified background check, and (c) submission of transcript of graduate study. Registration in CMHC courses requires approval of the CMHC Program Director.
