Admission as a Freshman

High School Graduates

Students who are graduates of an accredited high school will be unconditionally admitted if they meet the pre-college curriculum (PCC) requirements established by the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (for Kentucky residents), have a minimum Admission Index of 500, and a minimum ACT composite of 18 (or SAT equivalent).

To apply for admission, submit to Undergraduate Admissions in the Office of Enrollment Services: (1) a completed Undergraduate Admission and Scholarship Application; (2) official ACT or SAT results; (3) a high school transcript (and a final transcript after high school graduation); and (4) a one-time $30 undergraduate application processing fee. All applicants for four-year degree programs who do not meet the PCC requirements must satisfy those requirements within their first 24 hours.

Removal of PCC deficiencies will be monitored by the Office of the Registrar. Associate degree applicants do not need to meet PCC requirements for admission but their PCC requirements will be assessed and removed.

Applicants may also be admitted into the provisional or conditional pathway.
