TRANSFER AND OTHER CREDIT
It is KyCAD’s goal to maintain the quality of the KyCAD degree when accepting credit not originating from the College.
KyCAD will consider courses taken at other institutions, accredited by any of the institutional accrediting associations or by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, for transfer. Advanced Placement (AP) exams and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs will also be considered for credit equivalency.
KyCAD requires that the last 30 semester hours of undergraduate study be completed in residence at the College. Additionally, at least half of the hours in the student’s major courses must be taken at KyCAD. Transfer credit may be withheld on the grounds that awarding it would violate either of these requirements.
Official transcripts must be sent to the Admissions Office from each institution at which credit was earned with the signature and seal of the appropriate office producing the official transcripts of each institution. Similarly, AP and IB documents (i.e. official score report or diploma) must be sent from their respective granting agencies.
For more detailed policy see the Academic Catalog under Transfer and Other Credit.
