Kentucky State University provides educational opportunities to all qualified students regardless of economic or social status. KSU does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, marital status, beliefs, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or physical or mental disability.

FRESHMAN ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY -- Kentucky State University subscribes to a selective admission policy. Admission for freshman applicants is based on a holistic review including high school grades, national college admission test results, and successful completion of pre-college curriculum, essay and academic letter of recommendation. Applicants may submit official scores from either the ACT Assessment or the SAT I. Official test scores must be sent directly from ACT or SAT (College Board) testing headquarters.

MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT – All students who have completed the pre-college curriculum (see below) as prescribed by the Council on Postsecondary Education and have a 2.0 high school grade-point average are encouraged to apply to the freshman class at KSU. Enrollment in the freshman class is limited. Within the limits of space availability, the Building, Recruitment, Enrollment & Discovery Services Office (B.R.E.D.S.) Office and KSU Registrar will endeavor to accommodate all eligible applicants. However, the number of freshman applications far exceeds the number of spaces available in the entering class. For this reason, the selective and competitive admission requirements often exceed the minimum eligibility requirement.

A holistic review is based on factors including cumulative high school grade-point average, completion of the pre-college curriculum, ACT or SAT I score results, essay, special talents and
