Transferring Credit
There are many opportunities for you to receive credit for your prior coursework, testing and military service. At Kent State we want to make sure you receive credit for all possible learning you may have completed. You can check out the Kent State University Transfer Credit Guide page to see how your classes transfer to Kent State from other institutions and organizations.
How to transfer your credit:
Submit all official transcripts from every previously attended post-secondary institution to the Admissions Office at the campus to which you are applying. Most schools allow you to select Kent State University-All Campuses when choosing where to send your transcripts. The Kent main campus is the cental point for all application documents. If you were instructed to send your transcripts directly to a regional campus, you can be find regional campus addresses on the Campus Locations page. Information about international admissions can be found on the Office of Global Education page.
Credit for standardized exams, such as AP, CLEP, Dantes, IB, A levels, and more, please send the official score reports to Kent State directly for evaluation towards credit. Kent State also considers industry training, certificates, licenses, and other prior learning experiences for credit. View links to the left for further details on alternative credits and credit charts, or visit the Transfer Credit FAQ’s for more information. You could also refer to the academic policies section of our catalog at under Transfer of Undergraduate Credit, Transfer of Graduate Credit, and Alternative Credits. As a veteran, you may be entitled to credit for prior military service. Service Members at any Kent State campus can visit the site to have your transcript electronically delivered to the university.
