Undergraduate business administration students who plan to study at another institution must obtain written approval for each course before the term begins. If prior approval is not obtained, there is no guarantee that credits earned will be accepted by Marquette University. Course approval forms are obtained on the Marquette Central website. Grades are not accepted in the transfer approval process; only credits transfer. Transferred credit where the grade earned is less than C only applies toward degree requirements or prerequisites that do not require a grade of C or better. Repeated courses are only reviewed and accepted for credit once, even if taken at different institutions. The most recent grade received is used in the evaluation process.

It is required that once a student matriculates at Marquette, calculus and business courses must be taken at Marquette. Exceptions for business courses are possible for students participating an approved study abroad program.
