The grade on a course already completed elsewhere must be a minimum grade of “B- (80%).” Students must request a transfer credit evaluation from the Office of the Registrar before or during the first quarter of attendance at ACM. No more than 6 graduate semester units or 9 quarter units awarded by another institution may be transferred for credit towards the Masters in Music Education. (See school catalog for details)

Is there financial aid available?

Although ACM does not offer Title IV-federally funded secure loans through the US Department of Education.
