All Kentucky public universities and KCTCS colleges are expected to assess, in accordance with SACS-COC Principles of Accreditation and based upon nationally accepted standards, the student learning outcomes associated with their general education programs, indicate the relationship to the faculty-generated Statewide General Education Student Learning Outcomes, and provide evidence of ongoing assessment that ensures comparability for transfer purposes on a three-year cycle. (KRS 164.2951(2)(c))
Students are encouraged to complete their lower division general education requirements study prior to transfer. Students are responsible for planning their transfer by working with their advisor, reviewing institutional catalogs, and using the statewide transfer website to determine how their coursework will transfer.
The General Education Transfer Policy applies to students who are accepted for admission into one of Kentucky's public higher education institutions. Students planning to transfer should be aware of the admission requirements of the institution into which they intend to transfer. General education certifications noted on a student's transcript will be applicable upon admission into the receiving institution.
Since the provisions of this policy address only institution-wide lower division general education requirements, students are advised to be aware of the general education requirements of the college or school within the university and the general education requirements of the degree program to which they plan to transfer.
