What transfers?
We encourage students to seek academic advisement as soon as possible after receipt of their transfer evaluation. Academic advisors will utilize DegreeWorks to map a plan of progress toward the most efficient path of degree completion.

KSU is on the semester system. Students who are transferring with courses taken under the quarter system will be granted equivalent semester hours; one semester hour = 1.5 quarter hours.

In an effort to ensure the transferability of credit courses across institutions, KSU observes articulation agreements so the transfer student has a defined guarantee for specific courses, clusters of courses, and related academic requirements from one institution to another.
