copies of their transcripts via The National Student Clearinghouse at http://www.mystudentcenter.org/. The student who has not completed his/her undergraduate degree at the time of application for admission to a graduate program must submit the current official transcript at the time of application as well as an official transcript upon completion of the undergraduate degree. Kentucky State University student or graduate can find additional information about transcript request at http://kysu.edu/administration-governance/academic-affairs/registrar/transcript- request/.
International applicants must request the registrar of the institution(s) they graduated from to send their transcripts directly to the Office of Graduate Studies at Kentucky State University. Alternatively, they can request an accredited international evaluation agency (e.g., WES) to send verified and certified copies of their original transcripts along with the transcript evaluation report directly to the Office of Graduate Studies at Kentucky State University. However, the University reserves the right to ask you to request the Registrar of the foreign institutions to send original copies of your transcript(s) directly to the Office of Graduate Studies.
f. Graduate Admission Test Scores (e.g., GMAT, GRE, PRAXIS, etc.)
All applicants for graduate admission are required to submit graduate admissions test scores. As explained below, there are some exceptions regarding the graduate admissions test scores requirements. However, graduate assistantships or sponsorships typically require satisfactory graduate admission test scores. Therefore, if you plan to seek or apply for graduate assistantships or sponsorships, you should take the appropriate graduate admission test and submit the test scores at the time of applying for admission. The official test scores report must be sent directly by the testing agency to the Office of Graduate Studies. Graduate admission test must have been taken within the past five years leading to the application due date.
The following are exceptions or conditions for possible waiver from graduate admission test scores requirements.:
The Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program requires professional certification credentials, instead.
An applicant who has successfully completed a graduate degree at a regionally accredited institution.
An applicant who earned a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university or a foreign institution with comparable accreditation and obtained a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 (on a 4-point scale). Note that GPA cannot be rounded up. For instance, an overall GPA of 2.99 cannot be rounded up to 3.0.
