COLONEL CONNECTION
PATH FROM KCTCS TO EKU
If you’re starting college at a KCTCS (Kentucky Community and Technical College System) school, you can finish your degree with a game-changing education at EKU.
The Colonel Connection program gives you a direct path from KCTCS to EKU. Take classes at KCTCS while also being part of EKU and watch the progress toward your degree. Then, when you’re ready to make the move to EKU, it’s easy. No stress, no fuss — just you, focused on finishing your degree.

Your KCTCS transcript will be exchanged each semester at no cost AND eligible students can take up to 12 hours of EKU classes at the KCTCS price - must be concurrently enrolled at KCTS and EKU.

Your Colonel Connection advisor will look over your KCTCS plan and make sure you’re on the right path.
WATCH YOUR PROGRESS:
See how close you’re getting to your degree in your EKU DegreeWorks account (degreeworks.eku.edu) after every term.
