Credit by exam test scores listed on transcripts from other universities are not automatically
awarded credit. Scores must be officially sent to K-State.
How scores transfer:
If a letter grade is awarded, it will become part of the student's K-State GPA. Courses
listed as credit only do not become part of the student's K-State GPA.
Each College (i.e. College of Arts and Sciences) will set a policy for how they accept
letter grades or credit. Please see the following link for information from the Colleges. http://www.k-state.edu/admissions/apply/advanced.html
Students have the option of accepting or rejecting the exam credit. In addition,
if a letter grade has been awarded, the student has the option of accepting "credit
only" instead of the letter grade within the policy of the individual College. The
student may change from one option to another at any point during their undergraduate
career. It is at the discretion of the academic department on whether a test score
will be accepted for a specific class. It is important for the student to consult
with their academic advisor before making the decision.
