Let S be a finite normalizing extension of a ring R. If M is an S module, then M has finite uniform dimension if and only if it has finite uniform dimension when considered as an R module. Consequently, when S is a right Goldie ring, R is also a right Goldie ring. Conversely, if R is a semiprime right Goldie ring and S is a prime ring, then S is a Goldie ring. Finally, when both S and R are semiprime right Goldie rings, the quotient ring of R embeds in the quotient ring of S.
