CH 2: Section 6 - Student Transfer Policy

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Athletic Training Program (UNL ATP) does not accept transfer credits from other accredited athletic training programs. However, a limited amount of graduate-level coursework (i.e., Research Methods, Statistics, or elective courses) may be considered for transfer into the University and our program on a case-by-case basis. For inquiries regarding graduate-level transfer coursework, please contact UNL ATP Program Director Dennis Perkey (cehs.unl.edu/nhs/person/dennis-perkey/). Note that this policy only applies to graduate level courses and does not apply to undergraduate prerequisite courses.

No graduate credits will be accepted as transfer credit toward a master’s program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) if the course work is 10 years or older or if the course work has been applied toward a previously completed post-baccalaureate degree at any institution, including UNL. 

Approval of the Office of Graduate Studies is required for the transfer of graduate work taken elsewhere toward a graduate degree at UNL. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that official transcripts of graduate work taken elsewhere are received in the Office of Graduate Studies well before the student plans to complete all other requirements for the graduate degree at UNL.
