their instructors. If students are receiving the Title IVE Child Welfare Training Stipend they are
required to contact the CW Coordinator and complete the required procedures for return of the
stipend.
Reinstatement of Students who Withdraw from the Program
Students who are in good standing* at the time of departure and who withdraw from the
Collaborative MSW Program generally may be readmitted without going through the admissions
process if they apply for reinstatement no later than March 1st of the academic year following
their withdrawal from the Program. Students who request reinstatement after this time period
will be considered for admission with the current applicant pool. This may mean that additional
MSW admissions requirements may be in effect which they would need to adhere to. Students
who have not finished a full field placement (two semesters for 480 hours) may be required to
complete additional field hours over and above the total hours required of all students.
Readmission decisions will be made by the Academic Status Review Committee.
*Good standing does not include incomplete grades.
Transfer Credits
The MSW Program Coordinator reviews requests for students seeking to transfer credits from
another accredited social work master’s degree program. The MSW Program Coordinator will
make a determination of equivalence on a course-by-course basis based on documentation
provided.
On May 14, 2003, the Collaborative MSW faculty passed the following policies with
regard to transfer credits:
Student who have taken some foundation courses in an accredited undergraduate program
but who have not completed their BSW degrees cannot have these courses transferred in
lieu of foundation courses in the MSW Program.
Transfer credits will be considered for up to 12 credits for students who have taken
foundation social work classes at graduate Social Work programs at other institutions. The
course(s) being considered must have been completed within the last 5 years. The Program
reserves the right to ask for and review course syllabi in making a determination of the
number and types of transfer credits to be granted. The number of credits granted will be
determined by the number of contact hours and weeks scheduled for each course.
The Program has recommended waiver of the 12 credit limit in the unusual situation
where:
1. An applicant has completed an entire foundation curriculum in a graduate
program at another accredited institution and
2. A careful review of that foundation curriculum indicates that it requires
development of the same knowledge and skills as those required in the
Collaborative MSW Program.
