Official Basic Skills 48 hour Policy from the Wichita State Catalog
All basic skills requirements in the general education program must be met by undergraduates enrolled in a Wichita State University bachelor's degree program within the first 48 hours of enrollment toward the degree, not including guest student credit and AP credit.
Students who do not meet this requirement will be allowed to complete the basic skills requirement in the first semester of enrollment subsequent to their having reached the 48-credit plateau.
Students who transfer to the university with at least 48 credit hours earned from an accredited institution but who have not completed Wichita State University's basic skills requirements shall have two semesters to complete the basic skills requirement with the required C- or better grade.
Students who fail to pass basic skills courses in a timely fashion as defined above shall not be permitted further enrollment at the university except for enrollment in the basic skills courses.
