To have credits evaluated for transfer, submit the following to the Office of Student Records and Registration:

• Official transcript listing all courses and grades.
• Credential evaluation by a NACES-approved agency (see below).
• Course descriptions in English for each class you want considered for transfer.
• Additional educational records, if requested.

UNK will evaluate transfer credits only for students fully admitted to a degree program.

For international students with prior university coursework, UNK requires a professional credential evaluation from a NACES-approved agency before processing credit transfers.

• UNK’s Student Records & Registration must also receive an official transcript.
• Evaluations must be completed before credit transfer is processed.
• Full evaluations may require course descriptions in English.
• A preliminary evaluation summary is available within a few weeks of submission.
