Students who are admitted or were previously admitted as a guest or non-degree or who have a previous graduate degree (master's, Educational Specialist, or Ph.D.) and are not currently seeking another graduate degree may transfer a maximum of 6 credit hours with advisor approval. Therefore, a total of six hours of transfer credits may be used toward the certificate requirements, whether from another institution or taken at KSU before admission to the certificate program.
To transfer in coursework from an accredited institution (not KSU) the student completes the form. The transfer of credit paperwork should be done in the first semester and submitted to room 418 White Hall with an original transcript with grade posted. OGSS will secure all required signatures. For coursework to qualify, the following conditions must be met:
- Student was admitted as a graduate student at the time the graduate-level course was taken
- A grade of 鈥淏鈥 or Satisfactory was earned
- Credit will be less than six years old at the time the certificate is conferred at Kent.
