Transfer Course Work

If you have made the decision to transfer in course work from another University/College to apply to the requirements for your program of study, it is your responsibility to verify that the course that you are taking is equivalent to the required Pittsburg State University course.  This can be done by checking the Transfer Equivalencies Guide on the Registrar’s Home Page or by contacting Barbara Van Becelaere, Assistant Registrar, for transcript analysis, 620/235-4253

• An official transcript showing the completed course or courses must be sent from that institution directly to the Registrar’s Office at Pittsburg State University.  Faxed transcripts, transcripts sent by students, or hand delivered copies (unless presented in a college-sealed envelope) are not considered official transcripts.

• Although a course is considered equivalent to an upper division course at Pittsburg State University, if it is completed at a community (two-year) college or is listed as a lower division course at the four-year institution from which it is being taken, upper division credit at Pittsburg State University cannot be given.

• Care should be taken to avoid completing courses at a community college if the four-year-college-hours requirement (minimum of sixty hours from a four-year school for a baccalaureate degree) has or will not be met.

• A maximum of six (6) semester hours of nonresident credit (correspondence courses, or work at another college or university) may be applied on the last thirty hours prior to graduation.
