Transfer Coursework for Graduating Seniors

Transfer Coursework Policy for Graduating Seniors

College of Agriculture undergraduate students must complete external coursework (coursework taken at an institution other than Kansas State University) the semester prior to the start of their final semester at K-State. All official transcripts must be received in the Office of Recruitment and Admissions no later than the graduation application deadline (for fall and spring terms, this is the end of the 4th week of the semester; for summer terms, this is the second week of June). Transfer coursework not received by the aforementioned deadlines will result in denial of the student's initial application and omission of the student's name from the commencement program.

Policy example: A student planning to graduate in Spring 2020 would need to complete transfer coursework no later than Fall 2019 AND transfer it in to K-State no later than January 2020 to ensure that it is received prior to the beginning of graduation application review.

Students that plan to take external coursework their junior or senior year should plan accordingly to ensure that transfer coursework is received prior to their final semester. Directions on how to submit transfer coursework may be found at the bottom of this page.

Students should work closely with their academic advisor when considering enrollment in external coursework. Only half of the total course credits applying towards a K-State degree may come from a 2-year institution. 20 of the last 30 credits must be taken from K-State. Students should refer to the transfer equivalency page to confirm that courses will transfer in and complete the intended degree requirements.

How to submit transfer coursework to K-State:

External coursework must be submitted to K-State via an official transcript prior to the graduation application deadline for each semester. Please have your transcript faxed to the Admissions Office at 785-532-6393 or, if the transfer institution uses an electronic transcript provider, you may ask them to send your transcript to k-state@k-state.edu (we highly recommend you use the electronic transcript option to expedite this process).
