Transfer of Purdue Global Credits to Other Schools

While Purdue Global credits are widely transferrable, it is at the sole discretion of a receiving institution to accept credits earned for transfer. Further, transferability may differ based on the earned grade or academic mark. The University cannot guarantee the transferability of any credits to other institutions.

Posthumous Degrees

The University may award a posthumous degree if the deceased student has completed the following: 

• At least 85% of credit hour requirements at a level commensurate with graduation requirements of that program and most requirements for the major; and 
• Was actively enrolled within the year preceding the request for a posthumous degree.

When the degree includes a thesis requirement, the following additional provisions apply: 

• The student must have completed the research to the extent that a thesis, or one or more articles in lieu of a thesis, can be prepared; and 
• The advisory committee or Dean must approve the research and results, including a thesis or article(s), and recommend granting the degree.

A request for a posthumous degree award must be made in writing to the Dean of the school in which the student was enrolled. The Dean will review the petition and the student’s overall record to determine whether to make a recommendation to the Chancellor, with whom final approval rests.
