Transfer Student Policy

The University of Kansas welcomes transfer students to the Athletic Training Program provided the following criteria are met.

• Transfer students must follow the university’s policy on transfer of credit.
• Transfer students must also have met the admission requirements and be accepted to the School of Education
• Transfer students must meet the admission requirements for the Athletic Training Program
• Transfer students must be available for an on-campus interview in May.
• Transfer students must have previous experience of at least one semester working under the direct supervision of a Certified Athletic Trainer. That ATC must be one of the three references for the application.
• Transfer students must complete HSES 351 their first spring semester on campus.
• Space must be available for acceptance of additional students due to the limited and selective admissions policy of the program (if space is not available, the transfer student must apply during the next enrollment period).
• Transfer students must complete 800 hours of clinical experience while at KU to meet the state of Kansas Athletic Training Licensure requirements.

Due to the structure and sequence of the Athletic Training program, transfer students that meet these requirements will be admitted to the program and placed in the Junior (Level I) class. The only core AT course that may be transferred is HSES 350 or its equivalent. Program authorities reserve the right to accept or deny transfer of credit for Athletic Training courses.
