Transfer applicants from regionally accredited institutions of higher education may be considered for admission based on their previous college academic records. All candidates must submit a final official transcript of all previous work taken. *The Registrars Office compiles official equivalencies for any course not taken at KWU. All final evaluations of transcripts are completed by the Registrars Office.

Please note: Grades earned on the quarter-term system do not transfer at the full credit listed on the transcript. Quarter-term hours compute at two-thirds of KWU credit hours; e.g., 4 quarter-term hours will equal 2.67 semester hours. The Registrars Office compiles official equivalencies for any course not taken at KWU. All final evaluations of transcripts are completed by the Registrars Office.

Any course identified as remedial is not transferable. Any course identified as a workshop, seminar, practicum, field experience, work experience, continuing education, or weekend-type course work will be carefully evaluated by the Registrar to determine transferability.

At least 63 of the 126 credit hours required for the Baccalaureate degree must be earned at a four-year institution.  A maximum of 63 credit hours will be transferred from two-year institutions.
