Students who transfer to a Kansas public university from a Kansas public community college or technical college (or vice versa) are eligible for Reverse Transfer, which allows for the attainment of any associate degree for which one is eligible along the way to additional certificates and degrees. Within a student's first semester, those who transfer coursework from a public university, community college or technical college will be notified if they are eligible to be considered for reverse transfer degree status, and which courses are needed to finish the related degree. Students who then complete the coursework for a given associate degree will be eligible to receive that degree, administered automatically by correspondence between the new institution and the university, community college or technical college the student last attended.

While these plans are tailored to first-semester freshmen with no prior college credits, students who have already earned college credits may be able to adjust their Degree Map by replacing listed courses with those they've completed. Each student will work with their academic advisor to create a personalized plan that fits their unique academic journey.
