Approval to study at other institutions
If you plan to study at another institution, you must obtain written approval for each course before enrollment in the course. If prior approval is not obtained, the university reserves the right to not accept the credits earned at the other institution. Access the Transfer Central links above to start your search for courses that may have already been reviewed by Marquette.
Upon completion of the course work, it is your responsibility to have official transcript(s) sent directly from the institution(s) to Marquette. No credits will be posted to a student's record until an official transcript is received, processed and evaluate by the appropriate college/school.
Whenever courses are taken outside Marquette, and particularly in the student's final semester at Marquette, Marquette must receive all official transcripts from other institutions by the last day to receive official transcripts, as listed on the Academic Calendar, or the student's graduation date may be delayed by one term.
