Courses at Other Institutions

Once matriculated into a degree program at Suffolk, students are expected to complete all of their coursework at the University. Exceptions are made for international study or where academic hardship merits consideration. A student must be in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or better with no Incomplete grades) and have transferred fewer than 63 outside credit hours into Suffolk. If approved for a course at another institution, a student must attain a grade of "C" or higher in order to receive transfer credit. It is expected that students will complete their final 30 credit hours at Suffolk University. New students in their first semester without final grades may not be approved for outside courses. Courses taken at other institutions may affect student eligibility for graduation honors.

College of Arts and Sciences

Students who feel their situation warrants an exception must apply through the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. 

Sawyer Business School

Students who feel their situation warrants an exception must apply online through the Business School's Undergraduate Programs Office. Petitions must be received at least two weeks prior to the start of Suffolk University semesters or summer sessions.

Once matriculated, a student may apply to take no more than two courses of outside coursework during the BSBA degree program. Most upper-level business courses are not applicable.
