We can only transfer classes from the transcript of the school where you took those classes.

(This does NOT apply to a major and minor in different schools.)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS IF I TRANSFER TO KU, WILL MY FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER AS WELL? Although federal financial aid does not transfer between institutions, you should be able to receive financial aid at KU as long as you meet eligibility criteria. You must file the FAFSA and use KU’s federal school code (001948) to provide your information to KU. If you have federal aid, you must cancel the aid with the school you are attending and update your FAFSA to include KU’s school code. We cannot award or disburse aid until KU receives your FAFSA information and any aid at your previous school has been canceled. WHAT ABOUT STATE FINANCIAL AID? If you received a financial aid award from the state of Kansas, go to kansasregents.org or call 785-296-3518 for information about transferring the award. WHAT ABOUT SCHOLARSHIPS? If you have an outside scholarship, contact the scholarship donor to coordinate the possibility of transferring the scholarship to KU.
▼
Jayhawks received $50 million in scholarships and grants last year.
WHAT IF I’M TRANSFERRING TO KU DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR? If you have received financial aid at another school for the current year and are entering KU for the spring semester, you should notify the financial aid office at your current school and add KU to your FAFSA.
