Exceptions to this policy are warranted only in cases involving unusual or extenuating circumstances that would normally not be faced by other students.

Undergraduate students may transfer a maximum of 63 credits from other accredited colleges/universities. . Graduate students in Fine Arts and Graphic Design may transfer a maximum of 15 credits'

The request will only be processed once the Official College Transcripts have been received and a grade of "C" or better has been verified.

Otis College Policy states that junior and senior students at Otis College may not take courses at other institutions and apply the credits earned to their Otis College transcript and degree. All courses taken at another institution must be approved and completed prior to the beginning of an Otis College student’s junior year.

Exceptions to this policy are warranted only in cases involving unusual or extenuating circumstances that would normally not be faced by other students and require special permission from the Registrar and the Provost.
