Tips to Remember for Transfer Students:

1. General
   • A maximum of 66 semester credit hours may be transferred from two-year junior or community colleges with a grade of “C” or above.
   • A minimum of 120 semester hours must be earned, of which 40 hours must be 300 or 400 (Junior or Senior) level courses. Such courses must be taken at a four-year college or university. Any courses from a community college that are equated to UNK 300-400 courses do NOT count toward the 40 hour upper level requirement for graduation at UNK. A minimum of 32 semester hours applicable to the selected degree program must be earned through UNK.
   • Advising is mandatory for all students before they can register. To change endorsements or add minors or second endorsements, students must contact the Office of Academic and Career Services, MSAB 180, (308) 865-8501.
   • This worksheet does not replace your degree audit.
2. Admission to Teacher Education
   • Students should be admitted to teacher education by the middle of their second year or transfer students (if they study for two years at a community college) should plan to meet the Admission to TE requirements at the end of their first semester at UNK.
   • We recommend that all students, including transfers, complete the PRAXIS Core exam in their 2 nd year of college.
   • The Admission to Teacher Education Form and a complete list of admission requirements is available in the Educator Certification Office, COE C128, (308) 865-8264. Application should be filled out in your first semester at UNK.
3. Student Teaching
   • Applications for student teaching are due by the first Tuesday in February for Fall placements and the first Tuesday in September for Spring placements. On campus students must attend one of the Student Teaching workshops for student teachers and online students can access the instructional information at http://www.unk.edu/academics/coe/ECU/ECU_Online_Students/ the semester before they apply.
