Current through Register Vol. 44, No. 13, March 27, 2025
This regulation shall be applicable to the university of Kansas' review of applicants beginning with the 2022 summer session.
(a) The admission officer at the university of Kansas shall consider each applicant's ACT or SAT scores as follows:
(1) A documented score of 1060 on the SAT,
excluding the writing portion of the SAT, shall be deemed the equivalent of a
composite score of 21 or superscore of 21 on the ACT for purposes of this
article of the board of regents' regulations. A documented score of 1160 on the
SAT, excluding the writing portion of the SAT, shall be deemed the equivalent
of a composite score of 24 on the ACT for purposes of this article of the board
of regents' regulations.
(2) A
documented composite score or a documented superscore of 21 or above on the ACT
may be used to admit an applicant in the temporary admission category after the
applicant's completion of the sixth high school semester, without further
review of the applicant's materials.
(3) The admission officer shall consider the
applicant's best ACT-issued composite score or superscore for admission
decisions.
(4) If an applicant has
taken both the ACT and the SAT, the admission officer shall consider the
applicant's better score on the two tests for admission decisions.
(b) If the high school has not already calculated the overall grade point average (GPA) and provided that information on the official high school transcript, the admission officer at the university of Kansas shall calculate the overall GPA for any applicant seeking admission pursuant to the GPA option specified in K.A.R. 88-29d-5, or K.A.R. 88-29d-7, as follows:
(1) The admission officer shall calculate a
GPA only for courses appearing on the applicant's official high school
transcript.
(2)
(A) If the high school transcript reports
grades on a four-point scale, the admission officer shall calculate GPAs by
assigning four points to a grade of A, three points to a grade of B, two points
to a grade of C, one point to a grade of D, and zero points to a grade of F.
Pluses and minuses shall not be considered in the calculation.
(B) If the high school transcript reports
grades on a scale other than a four-point scale, the admission officer shall
mathematically convert the grades to a four-point scale and assign points as
described in paragraph (b) (2)(A).
(3) The admission officer shall consider
grades of P or pass as follows:
(A) If the
high school transcript indicates that a P is equivalent to a grade of D or
higher, the admission officer shall assign one grade point to each grade of
P.
(B) If the high school
transcript indicates that a P is equivalent to a grade of C or higher, the
admission officer shall assign two grade points to each grade of P.
(C) If the high school transcript does not
indicate the minimum letter grade corresponding to a P, the admission officer
shall assign one grade point to each grade of P.
(4) If an applicant has retaken a course, the
admission officer shall use the highest grade when calculating the grade
point.
(5) If an applicant has
taken a college course and if this college course appears on the official high
school transcript, the admission officer shall calculate the grade for the
college course, for purposes of determining the GPA, as follows:
(A) Each college course with three or more
credit hours, but no more than five credit hours, shall be treated as a
one-unit high school course.
(B)
Each college course with more than five credit hours shall be treated as a
two-unit high school course.
(c) At the time of admission of an applicant, the university of Kansas shall notify the applicant of the following:
(1) The category or categories in which the
applicant is admitted;
(2) any
enrollment restrictions associated with the applicant's category or categories
of admission; and
(3) the
requirements for removing any enrollment restrictions associated with the
applicant's category or categories of admission.
