Dual-credit courses offered in high schools through Kent State University must duplicate the identical course offerings delivered on the campuses of Kent State to matriculated students. Courses must be approved for dual-credit status, and credit awarded must be deemed acceptable in transfer by faculty of the appropriate academic department/school of the university. Kent State is responsible for maintaining a dual-credit student’s college transcript. All courses will be identified on the college transcript as the regular college-level course. The high school is responsible for maintaining the student’s high school transcript. The evaluation of courses when transferring to post-secondary institutions other than Kent State is the purview of the receiving institution.
