Transfer Policy for Graduate Students (course credits)
Students transferring to Kentucky State University are required to submit official
transcripts from all previously attended institutions as part of the admissions process.
Credits earned at a fully accredited institution may be transferred to KSU and applied
toward a degree. A fully accredited institution is one in good standing and a member
of one of the six regional academic accrediting associations.
A minimum grade of B is required for a graduate course to be accepted by KSU. Specific
programs may require a higher grade in order for the course to apply toward degree
requirements. Refer to the graduate program of interest to determine the specific
requirements for that degree program.
Each program limits the number of credits earned in the non-degree status that will
be transferred into the program. Per the Graduate Residency Requirements for Graduation,
no program may allow more than one-third of the required credits to be transferred
in from another institution.
Note regarding application materials -
Test scores, letters of recommendation and any application materials sent to Kentucky
State University are the property of the University to be used for the expressed purpose
for which they were initially submitted. Documents submitted to Kentucky State University
may not be shared with anyone outside the University. Those wishing replacement copies
of test results, letters of reference, or related admissions materials should contact
their originating sources.
