Enrolled, degree seeking students who have completed one semester at KCKCC have met the requirements to have transfer credits and grades posted to their KCKCC transcript.

Students seeking to transfer credit earned at another college to Kansas City Kansas Community College must provide an official transcript from all previous colleges to the Registrar’s Office.

• Institutions may send official transcripts electronically to Kansas City Kansas Community College through a secure process (such as Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse). If an email address is used for the electronic transcript, please use: registrar@kckcc.edu.
• Institutions should mail transcripts to:
  
  
  Kansas City Kansas Community College
  Registrar’s Office

  Kansas City, KS 66112
• Students may submit the transcripts in person if the transcripts are delivered in the sealed envelope from the granting institution.  They must bear the official seal of the other college. Photocopies and facsimiles are not acceptable as official college transcripts.

The Registrar’s Office will evaluate transcripts based on the student’s area of interest and will grant transfer credit only to courses that apply to students' program of study or meet degree requirements. Students who change their major program of study or degree plan may request that the Registrar’s Office reevaluate their transcripts based on the new program of study.

All transfer credit will be equated to the semester hour system. All credits earned with a D grade or higher will be articulated and calculated in students’ cumulative grade point average (GPA), as defined in the Grading System Policy 2.04. Quality points and grade points will be transferred from other colleges and universities and will be averaged into the KCKCC cumulative GPA.

Undergraduate transfer credits will be accepted from colleges and universities that are accredited by, or hold candidacy status with, one of the six regional accrediting bodies listed below. Graduate level coursework will not be evaluated.

• Higher Learning Commission (HLC)
• Accrediting Commission for Schools - Western Association of Schools and Colleges
• Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE)
• New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE)
• Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU)
• Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC)
• or other institutions approved by KCKCC.

KCKCC follows the American Council on Education's (ACE) published recommendations on the transfer of non-accredited institutions, including military and other training programs.
