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

Courses are listed as credit only and do not become part of the student's K-State GPA.

The credit will not be reflected on the student's record until the student has enrolled. Students must be degree-seeking for credit to be awarded.

Each college (e.g. College of Arts and Sciences) sets a policy for how they accept credit. View the college information for how credit or letter grades are accepted.
