Transfer credit will be recorded on the Western Michigan University transcript as “Credit” (CR) only and will not be calculated into the honor points earned and the graduate grade point average at WMU. Grades and honor points do not transfer; only credit transfers. Transfer credits for graduate students will not appear on the WMU transcript until time of graduation. As a consequence, honor point deficiencies acquired in credits earned at WMU cannot be made up by credits earned at another university. (Exception: Grades for courses taken at other Michigan institutions under the Michigan Intercollegiate Graduate Studies [MIGS] program are applied to the student’s grade point average at WMU and appear on the student transcript. See the Graduate College website forms page for more information about the MIGS program.)
