KCP courses have been approved for credit by Sponsor and Affiliate universities, but it is up to each student to determine transferability of credit.
During the first week of class, students choose from three grading options: Grade, Pass/Fail , or Audit. Note that for most study-abroad and transfer credits, choosing “Grade” will not affect a student’s cumulative GPA. Students choosing “Audit” will fully participate in the course but will not earn academic credit.
