87|Page Transfer Credit Evaluation (ACA-019) (https://www.kutztown.edu/about-ku/administration/governance/policy-register/aca-019-transfer-credits.html) The evaluation of course work that has been completed at another institution of higher learning is done by the Transfer Coordinator in the Office of the Registrar. All college-level credits from postsecondary institutions with CHEA-recognized accreditation which are determined equivalent in content and level to course work offered at Kutztown University may be considered for transfer credit provided the student has earned a grade of “D” or higher. Grades earned in courses taken at another institution will not be included in determining a student’s GPA as only grades earned at KU affect this average. Students will receive a copy of the transfer credit evaluation that is completed by the Transfer Coordinator. All students are urged to contact the Transfer Coordinator with all questions regarding the evaluation of their previous academic course work. A. All first-time baccalaureate degree students are required to take at least 30 of the last 60 credits at Kutztown. B.
