CREDITS CREDITS
GENERAL EDUCATION CERTIFICATION FROM KENTUCKY PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
EKU is one of the eight public higher learning institutions that participate in the Kentucky General Education Transfer Agreement. Students who transfer a completed Associate of Art, Science, or General Studies degree from one of these institutions (such as KCTCS) will have their EKU general education requirements satisfied.
This agreement also allows for the full or partial completion of EKU general education requirements by transferring “full” or “category” general education certifications from participating schools.
• Full certifications are awarded when the transfer students have met all of their general education requirements at their sending institution.
• Category certifications are awarded when transfer students complete specific sets of general education requirements. Completing a category at the sending institution will satisfy the corresponding category at EKU.
Students transferring general education courses from out-of-state or private Kentucky schools will have their credit reviewed for EKU general education eligibility, though more documentation may be required.
COLONEL CONNECTION
Students enrolled in a KCTCS school can seamlessly finish a bachelor’s degree at EKU through the Colonel Connection program — a joint admis sion program between EKU and KCTCS. colonelconnection@eku.edu
EKU DEGREE AUDIT REPORT
• Admitted students can find more information about how their credits transferred by logging into MyEKU at online.eku.edu. This information is found in the EKU DegreeWorks audit. Select “Student Records” then “EKU DegreeWorks” to check the progress of your transfer course evaluations.
