KSU will accept all undergraduate college level courses from regionally accredited institutions. Courses taken in Ohio prior to fall 2005 must have been passed with a "C" or better, or a "D" or better from fall 2005 forward. Courses taken outside of Ohio must have been passed with a "C" or better if taken prior to fall 2010 or a "D" or better if taken fall 2010 forward. This includes web-based courses.

There are majors that require a specific grade in some coursework or as a prerequisite for enrollment in a subsequent course. For instance, a student must have earned a "C-" or better in English Composition I before taking English Composition II OR Accounting majors must earn a "B-" in Financial Accounting. Transfer students are held to these academic program requirements and must have earned the specified grade in the equivalent transferring course. In the second example, a transfer student majoring in Accounting who earned a "C-" in the equivalent to Financial Accounting at their previous, Ohio institution in fall of 2006 would have the credit transferred, but it would not meet the requirement for the major.  

You can check the Transfer Credit Guide to see how your courses transfer to KSU. You can check the Ohio Board of Regents website for statewide equivalencies (TAGS).

You will receive an email at your @kent.edu address when your official evaluation has been completed or updated, so be sure to set up your FlashLine account when you are notified of your admission.

Students who wish to transfer graduate level credits into a Kent State University graduate program must obtain approval from their program using the "Transfer of Graduate Credit" form, available on the Graduate Studies Forms Library page.  Visit the Transfer of Graduate Credit catalog policy page for more information regarding transfer of graduate credits.
