WSU Tech is a Kansas Board of Regents Institution and is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Credits earned at WSU Tech are often easily transferred to other colleges and universities. Academic Advisors are available to help guide students through the transfer process and develop an academic plan. It is ultimately the student’s responsibility to confirm transferability and course equivalency with the receiving institution.

Transfer of Credits to WSU Tech:

WSU Tech considers coursework with a grade of C or better when evaluating transfer credit from colleges and universities that are accredited or hold candidacy status with the Higher Learning Commission, Middle States Commission on Higher Education, New England Commission of Higher Education, Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges/Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and Western Association Senior College and University Commission.

Official transcripts are required to be sent to the Registrar’s Office to be evaluated. Transfer evaluations are completed by either the Registrar’s Office or appropriate academic department. Not all coursework previously completed will be transferred. WSU Tech only evaluates and transfers courses applicable to the student’s current program of study at the time of the evaluation and informs students in writing as to the transferability of the coursework. Transfer credits are not included in the student’s WSU Tech cumulative GPA but the credit hours are applied to the program degree requirements.

WSU Tech does not automatically accept or post-transfer credit for students who have completed postsecondary coursework at institutions that are not accredited by one of the accrediting bodies listed above. However, students are able to request that work be evaluated through the Credit for Prior Learning Process.

A student may appeal how a course did or did not transfer for credit toward requirements in their program of study by requesting a re-evaluation. The student must provide a syllabus of the course to the Registrar’s Office, who will forward to the dean of the appropriate department.  If the syllabus does not include all necessary information, the student may have to provide additional documentation or show competencies (via exams or labs) before the academic department can make a final decision on transferability.  The dean will consult with the academic program director/chair for a recommendation and review the documentation to make a determination on the transferability of the course.  The decision of the dean shall be final.

Students should address any questions about the appeals process to the Registrar’s Office.
