Once a semester has started, we will not make changes to a student’s degree for that semester.

Multiple Degrees at/from CGU
|
| Students may only share units between two degrees. If a student completes two degrees and units are shared, he/she may not transfer or count any of the units from either of those degrees towards any subsequent CGU degree. |
HOW UNITS COUNT
|
| Double-Counting |
|
Students in an approved Dual Degree may double count the number of units upon approval of the academic department(s) and the Student Records department, but no more than 35% total.
Non-dual degree students may count units from one CGU degree to another.
Limitations
Doctoral Degrees
- If a student counts units from a completed CGU master’s degree in the exact same field, all master’s units may count towards the doctoral degree upon approval.
- If a student counts units from a completed CGU master’s degree in a different field, a maximum of 24 related units may count towards the doctoral degree upon approval.
- If a student did not / will not complete the master’s degree and moves into a doctoral degree, all related units may count up to the maximum allowed in a doctoral program but, only upon approval.
Master’s Degrees
- If a student transfers units from a completed CGU master’s degree to a new master’s degree, the number of units that may count are based on the number of units required to complete the new master’s degree:
- No more than 15 units may be transferred into master’s requiring 60 units
- No more than 10 into those requiring 48 units
- No more than 6 into those requiring fewer than 48 units

COMMON TERMS
Counts – “counts” refers to internal consideration of units from one CGU program to another. There is no indication or reference to such on the transcript.
Carry Forward – “carry forward” describes a BA/MA, that is, a 4+1 Student who brings units taken at CGU while enrolled as an undergrad at the Claremont Colleges to their CGU graduate transcript. It also describes the units counted in the joint doctoral programs with SDSU and CSULB that are part of the PhD.
Transferring – “transferring” is a term used to denote when graduate units from another university are applied to a CGU degree.
