Policy on Transfer of Legal Specialty Course Work

Students who have taken paralegal courses at other institutions may petition to the Director to have courses transferred to 5XÉçÇø. The student must include with the petition a catalog from the institution, course syllabi, a transcript, and sample work from the courses. Transferability is based on the accreditation of the school, comparability of the course including evaluation of practical assignments, years that courses were taken, and the grade that the student received.

Transfer from schools that are not ABA approved or members of AAfPE will be limited to two courses, as long as academic quality and comparability to KSU courses are assured.

Transfer from schools that are ABA approved will be limited to two courses for the minor and four courses for the major degree.
