Reinstating with modifications the guidelines for transfer students with regard to IGS Courses. In 2012 CPE revised the state wide transfer policy. Before that KSU had a specific policy regarding the IGS core requirement hours based on the accepted transfer hours of a student. Since that time the specific policy for IGS has not been included in the Student Bulletin. That has resulted in a lack of uniformity related to application of the old policy or an increased number of courses that transfer students must complete before they are able to complete their degree.
The proposed change is to reinstate a specific policy at KSU related to the IGS courses based on the number of transfer credit hours a student has upon entering KSU within the existing CPE policy and the reduced Common Core at KSU.

The number of Integrative Studies semester credit hours required of transfer students varies in accordance with the number of transfer credit hours accepted by the University toward fulfillment of graduation requirements. Students who transfer with courses similar to the University's Integrative Studies offerings may be exempted from these courses, with the consent of the Coordinator of Integrative Studies or the Director of the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies. Those exemptions will be determined on an individual basis.
