Transfer of Credit
Kansas State University accepts graduate credit from another institution only under the following conditions:
- The other institution is accredited by the cognizant regional accrediting association to offer graduate degree programs appropriate to the level of the credit to be transferred.
- The credit is fully acceptable to the other institution in satisfaction of its own advanced degree requirements.
- The credit is applicable to the student's program of study for an advanced degree at Kansas State University.
- The program of study should consist solely of courses directly related to the master's degree.
Up to 6 hours of graduate coursework from an accredited university may be considered as transfer credit to the graduate certificate program. All requests for transfer must be made prior to admission into the program. Courses considered must be graded A or B, must be equivalent to the courses for which they are being proposed for substitution, and must not have been taken more than six years prior to the semester that the student is admitted to the program. Equivalence to the course for which substitution is proposed must be determined prior to enrollment. The faculty may grant exceptions to the six-year limit when justified by compelling evidence about a student's knowledge and/or experience. If a transfer course is to be proposed for future enrollment, the semester should be noted on the student's certificate review and tracking form. Official transcripts that show the courses and grades for approved transfer credit must be on file in the Graduate School. Final approval of the graduate certificate cannot be determined until all transcripts are received.
