The Kansas Board of Regents provides an approved list of Systemwide Transfer (SWT) courses for transfer. The courses on this list will transfer to any Kansas public institution of higher education (community college, technical college, and/or university) offering an equivalent course.
The Transfer Kansas portal provides a detailed list of transfer courses available in each subject area and at each Kansas public college/university.
Use this state of Kansas resource to confirm that transfer courses you take at HutchCC will transfer to any Kansas public institution of higher education that offers an equivalent course.
To view the Kansas Transfer Portal’s detailed list of transfer courses available in each subject area and at each Kansas public college/university, click the Course Transfer logo below. Then click the picture of Kansas to open the portal. On the page that appears, click the Transfer Courses tab.
The T-triangle logo next to any course on a HutchCC curriculum guide indicates that the course qualifies as a Kansas Board of Regents Systemwide Transfer course.
Articulation Agreements (also called 2+2 agreements) show students the specific courses they will complete at the community college and the courses they will then take at a specific four-year college in a specific field of study. By successfully completing the designated courses as noted on the agreement, students are assured a bachelor’s degree in 4 years.
Kansas Board of Regents – Systemwide General Education Requirements
Starting in Fall 2024, public institutions of higher education in the state of Kansas will follow the Systemwide General Education framework determined by the Kansas Board of Regents. Some private colleges will also follow this framework.
What does that mean at HutchCC?
Students working toward the Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS), or Associate of Fine Arts (AFA) degrees will have a 34-35 credit hour group of general education courses to complete as part of the degree. This is called the General Education Framework. Successful completion* of this General Education Framework will be indicated on the student’s transcript. Upon transfer to a Kansas public institution of higher education, the 34-35 General Education Framework credit hours completed at HutchCC will satisfy the general education requirements at the receiving institution, unless an exception for a specific program has been approved by the Kansas Board of Regents. Students who transfer before completing the General Education Framework will have courses evaluated at the receiving institution on a course-by-course basis, based on the list of Systemwide Transfer Courses in each General Education bucket category.
Students must complete each course with a grade of C or better. The receiving Kansas public institution of higher education may accept a grade of D. Students should contact the receiving institution to discuss that institution’s policy on accepting a grade of D. If a student is pursuing a selective admission program with a minimum grade standard, the student may be required to retake a course to earn a higher grade.

Traditionally, college mathematics includes requiring college algebra for most majors. When students come to college unprepared to take College Algebra, they are required to enroll in traditional prerequisite remediation that does not count toward a baccalaureate degree. This creates unnecessary obstacles to degree completion for Kansas students.
According to KBOR’s Developmental Education Data Report, too few students are completing a traditional prerequisite developmental course and a general education math course within a two-year period.
Starting fall of 2024, HutchCC is implementing Math Pathways. Each transfer degree pathway has a recommended math course of College Algebra, Elements of Statistics, or Contemporary Math. Based on math skills required for a degree and vocation, one of these three courses were recommended by Kansas college faculty and the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR). All three courses meet the Systemwide General Education and graduation requirements.
The new Math Pathways will shorten time to completion. Students who are not math college ready will enroll in the recommended math course section and a corequisite support developmental education section. A corequisite support course is taken alongside the math course. In the corequisite course, students will remediate and complete the recommended math course in one semester.

Reverse Transfer is the process of retroactively granting Associate degrees to students who did not complete the requirements of an associate degree before they transferred from a Kansas community college or technical college to a Kansas public university.
The Kansas Board of Regents policy states that each Kansas public university shall provide a mechanism for each student who is transferring credits from a community college or technical college to a university to participate in the reverse transfer process.
Each Kansas public university has a slightly different reverse transfer process. There could be a question on the university admissions application about reverse transfer, a designated contact person at the university, or there may be a form the student must complete. No matter the process at the university, if a student wants to take advantage of reverse transfer in the state of Kansas, transfer students are required to opt-in to the reverse transfer process. Doing so allows the Registrars at both institutions to work together on your behalf.
