• College-Level – Credit must be college-level (usually numbered 100 or higher)
• “C” or above – Credit earned within the last 15 years with a grade of “C” or above (pass/failcourses and credits earned over 15 years will not transfer)
• 75% – The combined total of all transfer credits cannot exceed 75% of an MBI program
• Equivalent – Coursework must be equivalent to MBI requirements in content and credit hours (example: 4.5 quarter hours = 3 semester hours)
