All non-degree students are encouraged to submit official ACT or SAT scores if there is any possibility of becoming degree-seeking. Upon the completion of 24 semester credit hours in a non-degree status, a non-degree student is required to reconfirm his/her intention to not pursue a degree from Kentucky State University. The student's advisor will ensure that the student reconfirms his/her intention or takes the steps to become degree-seeking. If such a student changes his/her mind after the accumulation of 24 semester credit hours in a non-degree status, he/she must take the ACT or SAT before converting, regardless of the number of semester credit hours earned.

All transfer applicants with fewer than 24 transferable semester credit hours must submit official ACT or SAT scores, either by those furnished directly to Kentucky State University by the American College Testing Program, by the College Board, or by inclusion in the transcript of the transfer application.

A degree-seeking student must meet the Liberal Studies Requirements as published in the Catalogue in effect at the time of enrollment. The student will be subject to the liberal studies requirements so long as he/she remains enrolled with no more than a two-year interruption of studies.

A degree-seeking student can request to change his/her Catalogue of Record for the major to a subsequent edition if the major requirements change after a student declares a major. A written request to change the Catalogue of record must be submitted to his/her advisor for approval and forwarded to the Office of the Registrar. If as student elects to fulfill the old requirements for the major listed in his/her Catalogue of Record, but required courses are no longer offered, he/she may substitute other courses with the approval of the chair of the department of the dean of the appropriate college.
