Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about the KAP Program:

How do we Add a New KAP School or Course

Two elements are necessary to ensure the success of KAP in high schools: 1) a commitment by the schools to provide the necessary staffing, materials, and other resources needed for college level courses; 2) and qualified teachers. College-level courses demand college-level textbooks and oftentimes require specialized resources, like software or lab equipment. Schools must be able to provide these for their enrolled students. The requirements for KAP high school teachers are the same as those for the State of Ohio's College Credit Plus (CCP) program, which are as follows: "Teachers teaching College Credit Plus courses align with the Higher Learning Commission’s, which state that a teacher wishing to teach courses must have a master’s degree in the content area or a master’s degree in a different discipline and 18 or more hours of continuing education in the content area."

We will approve a prospective teacher if they have a master’s degree in the content area, or possess a master’s degree in another discipline and are currently enrolled in a graduate program in the content area with the goal of earning the required 18 credit hours.  The credits must be in the content area and not generally in the education/pedagogy of the content area. We will not consider teachers who do not meet these criteria. (Plans to enroll in a graduate program in the future will not serve to meet the teacher qualification.) Please note that KAP will match the school district's contribution to offset the tuition expense for KAP teachers who are seeking additional graduate credit to become fully credentialed KAP instructors

 If your school meets the above criteria and you are interested in adding a new KAP course to your current KAP course offerings, or if you are interested in starting KAP at your school, please contact the following individuals:

If you do not currently have KAP at your school, please email KAP co-director Dudley Thomas at thomasdg@kenyon.edu. If you already offer KAP courses at your school but are interested in offering others, please email KAP co-director Glenn McNair at mcnairg@kenyon.edu.

How do I obtain a Kenyon transcript for my KAP courses?

You will need your KAP ID to request a transcript. You will be asked for your student ID number (which includes letter[s] and numbers) or the last four digits of your social security number. Your student ID number works the best. If you do not remember your student ID please complete the student ID request, while the Registrar's Office is working remotely.

You may request an official transcript to be sent to a college or university.

How much credit do I earn for a KAP course?

1 Kenyon credit is equal to 8 semester hours or 12 quarter hours.  See each course description for particular courses.  Typically a one semester class is 4 semester hours, labs are 2 semester hours.

How do I obtain a syllabus for my KAP class?

Go to this page and search for your class that you took.

How do I enter grades for my KAP students?

Most instructors will submit their grades via a class list spreadsheet supplied by Barb Cannon.

Information on entering grades directly from your KAP banner page can be found here.

How do I submit my course syllabus to Kenyon College?

Submit your course syllabus to Barb Cannon (cannonbe@kenyon.edu) as a PDF. If your syllabus is the same from year to year, re-date your syllabus so it can be posted.

How does a KAP instructor sign up for a KAP summer workshop?

Information and forms for reservations will be posted when available.  Contact your KAP faculty partner for details of the next summer workshop available.
