Notice Concerning Transferability of Units & Degrees Earned at our School

Upon satisfactory completion of course requirements and satisfying financial obligations, Energy Medicine University will issue an MS or PhD in Integrative Holistic Health degree diploma and final transcript. Professors are not authorized to issue degree diplomas. All degree diplomas must have the signature of the President to be valid and the University seal. Any additional requests for degrees/transcripts must be done in writing. Course transcript records will be provided to students within two weeks of degree completion.

Transfer Credit Hours

EMU courses are unique and specialized to the degree of Integrative Holistic Health. Transfer of credits is allowed only for a comparable course from an accredited university or college. These transfer credits may not exceed six (6) semester credits for the MS program and thirty (30) semester credits for the PhD program. The course equivalency must also be approved by the University administration. A transfer of equivalency course fee of $400.00 per course is incurred.

Accepted Transfer Equivalencies from the Academy of Intuition Medicine

Students who have earned a Master certification in Intuition Medicine (MIM) and completed equivalent courses at the Academy of Intuition Medicine may petition to transfer up to (six) 6 credit hours of Academy equivalency courses toward the 38 credit University Master degree. An MIM certification student entering the 62 credit Doctorate program with an additional Master degree from an accredited university may petition to transfer up to (eighteen)18 MIM credit hours toward the University Doctorate degree.

No transfer course fee is incurred for Academy of Intuition Medicine alumni students. These transfer equivalency credits are registered in the Master and Doctorate student program only after courses totaling 15 hours for the Master and 24 hours for the Doctorate degree are completed. These equivalency credits are registered in the program schedule in the final semester of the degree program.

Accepting Transfer Credits

Transfer credit will only be granted for courses:

Taken at an institution accredited by a United States Department of Education regional or national accrediting body or a degree granting institution approved by the Bureau of Post-Private and Vocational Education; or a recognized International institution;
Taken in the same field of study as that required at the time of enrollment, as reflected in the University Catalog in effect at the time of enrollment, and for no greater number of semester units than that required;
Verified through an official transcript requested by and received by University directly from the institution at which the course was taken;
If required, for which the student has produced course descriptions, course outlines, copies of assignments and tests, textbooks, university or college catalogs or any other documents, materials or things deemed reasonably necessary by the University in order to perform an evaluation of the equivalency of the course in question;
Courses within a major will be reviewed and evaluated by the Chief Academic Officer. The student may be required to take a proficiency examination. Credit will be granted if a score of 75% or better is achieved on the proficiency examination.

Accepting International Applicants Transfer Credits from Accredited Schools

Energy Medicine University welcomes admissions application materials from international students with degrees from accredited post-secondary colleges and universities (or equivalent schools).

Transcripts created in languages other than English must be submitted as literal translations prior to admission and must be sent for evaluation to the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) at:

AACRAO International Education Services
One Dupont Circle NW, Suite 520
Washington DC 20036
Tel: 202.296.3359
Fax: 202.822.3940
Web: www.aacrao.org/international/foreignEdCred.cfm
Email: [email protected]

AACRAO will issue a Basic Statement of Comparability that should be sent directly to Energy Medicine University by AACRAO. All other admissions documents must be submitted in English.

Verifying the Equivalency of the Transcripts

The following guidelines will be adhered to when evaluating transfer credits:

Students must receive a C or higher in order for the credits to transfer.
Students with credits earned 5 years or more from their date of attendance will be evaluated for credit on a case by case basis.
The University does not guarantee that credits earned elsewhere will fully satisfy the University course requirements.

Initial determinations of transfer credit equivalencies are made by the Chief Academic Officer through a comparison of course descriptions and/or course titles. If substantial similarity exists between a course taken at another institution and a University course, transfer credit will be awarded for the University course.

The Chief Academic Officer evaluates the units completed by the student at other institutions and will submit a decision regarding the award of transfer credits to the Admissions Department within ten (10) working days. Within thirty (30) working days, the Admissions Department will notify the student by email and/or postal mail. If a student wishes to petition this decision, student must appeal to University’s Chief Executive Officer within ten (10) working days. The Chief Executive Officer will review all work completed by the Chief Academic Officer and will notify the student by mail within additional ten working days.

The following specific policy guidelines for establishing course equivalency have been adopted by the University:

Semester units will be transferred on a one for one basis.
Only courses for which the degree candidate has earned a grade of 2.0 (C) or better will be considered.
The Chief Academic Officer will review and evaluate the documents supporting course work in a student’s major area of study for transfer.

Credit from Prior Learning

The University is very effective at assessing the value of our student’s prior learning from employment and non-college training. This is done through focused reviews and evaluations initiated and controlled by University faculty and Dean. The portfolio prepared by the student is measured against the goals, requirements and outcomes of the courses for which exemptions are sought. The student may be granted credit entitlements with a grade, may be asked to complete a missing element of the course, or may be asked to enroll and complete the course. The 3 credit Prior Learning Portfolio courses are the venue through which this credit is established and verified.

Maximum number of credits for prior learning

Of the first 30 semester units awarded students in the graduate programs, no more than 6 semester units may be awarded for prior experiential learning.
Of the second 30 semester units awarded students in the graduate programs, no more than 3 semester units may be awarded for prior experiential learning.
No credit for experiential learning may be awarded after a student has obtained 60 semester units in a graduate program.

Documents required in the verification process

The University will only grant prior experiential learning if all of the following apply:

The prior learning experience demonstrates a balance between theory and practice.
The learning experience demonstrates a balance between theory and practice.
The credit awarded for the prior learning experience directly relates to the student’s degree program and is applied in satisfaction of some of the degree requirements.
Each learning experience for which credit is sought shall be documented by the student in writing.
The documentation included should provide evidence of the learning in the form of certificates, reference letters, actual documents or products that the student created.

The Chief Academic Officer, will be responsible for evaluating the prior learning and shall prepare a written report that includes all of the following:

Documents in the student’s record on which the determination of prior learning was made
The basis for determining that the prior experience is equivalent to university level learning, and demonstrates a balance between theory and practice
The basis for determining the university level the experience is equivalent and the proper number of credits to be awarded toward the degree for that experience.

Official Transcripts

All degree candidates must provide official transcript(s), catalogs or course syllabi of previous coursework, and other documents to the Academy/University’sAdmissions Department for analysis of applicable transfer credits. Upon receipt of the documents, the Admissions Department will fill out a Transfer Credit Assessment Form and submit the form along with copies of official transcripts and other related documents to the Chief Academic Officer for review and evaluation.

Specifically, to receive previous academic learning, an applicant must provide documentation regarding the transfer of credit prior to the program start date. Students applying for transfer credit for courses taken at other institutions must observe the following guidelines:

Provide official student transcripts (verified through an official transcript requested by and received by University directly from the institution at which the course was taken);
Courses within a major must have been completed with a grade of C or better;
Students may be asked to provide a copy of the catalog containing the description of the course from the institution that the student attended.

Notice Concerning Transferability of Units & Degrees Earned at our School

Units you earn in our degree programs in most cases will probably not be transferable to any other college or university. For example, if you entered our school as a freshman, you will still be a freshman if you enter another college or university at some time in the future even though you earned units here at our school. In addition, if you earn a degree, diploma, or certificate in our degree programs, in most cases it will probably not serve as a basis for obtaining a higher level degree at another college or university.
