Transfer and Articulation
Transfer & Articulation Agreements
Donnelly College maintains approved and updated articulation agreements with the other accredited colleges and universities in Kansas City and the surrounding region. Special transfer arrangements have also been established in particular cases.
Transfer from a Two-Year Institution
Donnelly College has articulation agreements established with community colleges to accept credits toward our bachelor’s degree programs. The Registrar will also do a course-by- course evaluation of credits earned at other regionally accredited institutions. A minimum grade of C is required to fulfill a Donnelly College academic requirement.
Transfer to a Four-Year Institution
Because Donnelly College is an accredited college, area colleges and universities accept credits toward baccalaureate degrees. Most of these institutions provide course equivalencies and transfer guides to assist students. Students are also encouraged to meet with their Academic Advisor for assistance in the transfer process.
Reverse Transfer Agreement
Donnelly College participates in a universal reverse transfer program with Kansas community colleges. This innovative program allows students to receive an associate degree from the most recent community college attended by combining the credits earned at the community college and the credits earned while at Donnelly College. Incoming transfer students to Donnelly College from any of Kansas’ nineteen public community colleges or either of Kansas’ two non-profit 2- year colleges are eligible to receive the benefits of the reverse transfer program.
- Any student who transfers at least 45 credit hours from either an accredited public Kansas community college or 2-year private non-profit college may participate.
- At the end of the academic year, if the student has earned 60 credit hours (at least 45 from the community college plus the remainder at Donnelly College), the College will send an official transcript to the indicated community college.
- The home community college will review the complete transcript and if the student has met the degree requirements, the community college will award the associate degree and mail it to the student.
