Home and School Visitor Certificate
Transfer and Waiver Credit
Transfer credit for master's courses will be
considered upon the receipt of an official graduate transcript and supporting
materials in the form of a course syllabus for each transfer
credit request. Field experiences and graduate
courses will be evaluated on the basis of their content and
their reflection of current standards. Courses for which transfer credit is
requested must have a grade of "B" or above.
Note that courses for which students seek transfer credit should demonstrate course content pertaining to accommodations and adaptations for students with disabilities as well as English language learners. Questions about suitability of specific courses may be directed to swprodev@brynmawr.edu.
Requests for transfer credit for a field practicum experience
(minimum of 375 hours) completed through another graduate institution are to be accompanied by written verification from a direct supervisor
of responsibilities held and length of time
spent in the placement, identification of the school and school district where
the practicum took place, as well as verification of its satisfactory
completion.
Requests for a waiver of the field practicum requirement will be
considered for individuals who are employed in a school setting, as well as for those individuals who arrange a school-based intern experience not associated with Bryn Mawr. In each instance, the individual's direct supervisor must provide the verification outlined above by completing the Field Instructor Report.
Note that Bryn Mawr College
awards credit on a one master's unit per graduate course basis. Each Bryn Mawr master's unit is
the equivalent of four semester hours. Each half master's unit is the equivalent of two semester hours.
