COVID-19-related testing and transcripts FAQs

For new freshmen to K-State, we can admit on GPA only. A 3.25 GPA weighted or unweighted GPA assures admission. If you do not meet this criteria or have special circumstances, we will be as flexible as possible to help students achieve their goals of going to college. Please email apply@k-state.edu with your questions.

These should not impact your cumulative GPA. A cumulative GPA will be used for admission and scholarships.

Unfortunately, there is not one comprehensive answer regarding how this might impact students with transfer credit. Pass or Credit grades will be entered as credit. The goal is to not penalize students who either choose this option or whose schools move all students to a Pass or Credit grading system. For most students with general education credit, we do not believe this will create a barrier. However, some majors practice selective admission or selective advancement, some programs have accreditation or certification requirements, and some majors prepare students to apply to professional schools or graduate schools in the future. More details are needed for your personal circumstance. Personalized advice can be assessed by contacting the College of your major.
