Pass/Fail Policy: No Pass-Fail hours apply to Engineering degrees.

Only courses with a passing grade of A, B, or C will be acceptable for transfer into College of Engineering programs. The grade CR is not acceptable for transfer.

It is the Student's Responsibility to check for updates to all transfer information.

This information is from the 1995-97 Pratt Community College Catalog and is subject to change. Transfer information can also be accessed on the world wide web at http://www.ksu.edu/admit/tran.html.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

For admission, a transfer student with 12 or more transfer hours must have a 2.75 cumulative g.p.a. or higher. Transfer students with a g.p.a. between 2.5 and 2.75 will be admitted on a conditional basis in General Engineering. Given extenuating circumstances, exceptions to this policy may be granted with the recommendation of the pre-engineering advisor at the transfer institution. The advisor should send a letter of recommendation with the student application and fee to the Office of Admissions with a copy of the letter to the College of Engineering.

To apply for Admission to Kansas State University, request an application from the Admissions Office and have complete official transcripts from all previous colleges sent directly to the Office of Admissions, Kansas State University, 119 Anderson Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506-0102.
