Transfer Credit Agreements
with Wichita State University
(Part II)
STEP 8 -- DETERMINATION OF EQUIVALENCIES
After you have provided all of the items requested in PART I, we will begin a transfer credit evaluation. This process involves our sending the
syllabus for each subject to the WSU department which offers a comparable class. The evaluation process can sometimes take more than two months to complete.
STEP 9 -- DEGREE AUDIT EVALUATION AND CREATION OF STUDY PLANS
After Step 8 is complete, we will use this information to determine whether or not
any transferrable classes meet the degree requirements for the majors you provided
in Step 5. This process is called a degree audit. It is important to note that not all of the
classes that a student completed previously, even if they are comparable to subjects
offered at WSU, may satisfy the degree requirements for a particular major at WSU.
For example, if a student took a math class at your school and we determined that
it is equivalent to an Algebra class offered at WSU, Algebra would meet a degree requirement
for MANY majors at WSU -- but not for Engineering majors. A degree audit evaluation
will determine the number of subjects (and approximate amount of time) required for
a student to complete their degree at WSU. Both of our institutions would then know
if a 2+2 or 3+1 agreement might be possible. Degree audit evaluations can take more than one month to complete.
