How credits transfer
Many classes at your current or former school may be transferred to KU. However, you must submit official transcripts of completed coursework before a final determination can be made.
KU uses a Transfer Equivalency System called CredTran, which is provided as a guide to how classes at your current or former school are transferred to KU.
However, note that:
- The fact that a course appears in the list does not guarantee that the course will transfer in your individual case.
- After you are accepted to KU we will officially evaluate your transcripts. Apply as early as possible as some courses take time to evaluate. You will receive an Academic Requirements Tracking System (ARTS) form just before attending New Student Orientation. This form lists courses transferred to KU.
- If the course or school you are looking for is not on the list, we will evaluate those courses after you have been admitted to KU. Keep in mind, KU does not accept any courses that are remedial, vocational, or technical in nature.
- Just because the course may transfer to KU does not mean that it will fulfill a requirement. See Understanding the Codes for more information.
Also, the fact that a class from your current or former school is listed does not guarantee that the school currently offers the course or plans to offer the course in the future.
CredTran is subject to frequent revision. The date at the bottom of a particular school listing reflects the latest revision date for transfer equivalencies from that school. Also, we add schools to the list on a regular basis, particularly schools that send a large number of transfer students to KU.

and Staff - Summer math courses
If you plan to enroll in or are already enrolled in a KU math course for the Fall term and you are taking the required prerequisite math course over the summer at another institution, please read the following:
It is the student's responsibility to check with the transferring institution to make sure an official copy of the transcript reflecting a grade for the transfer math course can be generated and mailed in time to arrive at the KU Office of Admissions and Scholarships by August 13th. Otherwise, you may be dropped from your Fall KU math course. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Admissions and Scholarships at 785-864-3911 or processing@ku.edu. - Western Civ courses
Western Civilization courses that transfer to KU as HIST H or HWC H do not fulfill KU's Western Civilization principal course requirement for The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. If you have further questions regarding the transfer of Western Civilization courses and what will transfer for your major, please contact your academic advisor.
