Kentucky State University has authorized The National Student Clearinghouse to provide transcript ordering services via the Internet. Students can order transcripts using major credit and debit cards. The credit or debit card will only be charged after your order has been completed. Transcripts cannot be released if a financial hold has been placed on your account. This hold must be resolved before a transcript request will be processed. In order to purchase official transcript(s), please complete the following steps:

1. To order an official transcript(s), the student must login to The National Student Clearinghouse's secure site;
2. The site will explain how to place an order, including delivery options and fees. Students may order as many transcripts as you like in a single session. Base cost is $10.00 per transcript with a $3.00 per transaction processing fee.
3. Transcripts will be processed by the Office of the University Registrar 3 – 5 days after the order is received from the Clearinghouse. Order updates will be emailed to the student. Students may also check the order status and history online.
4. A transcript mailed through the United States Postal Service may take up to 10 business days to reach its destination.

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AS VISITORS AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS

KSU students may earn a limited amount of credit toward an associate or baccalaureate degree at another college or university provided that the student earns a “C” or better, has prior approval from his/her advisor, Chairperson, the Registrar, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs. The other institution must be fully accredited and the coursework must meet the University specifications for credit acceptance. The student should complete a “KSU Student Visiting Another Institution” form from the Office of the Registrar before enrolling at another institution. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for official transcripts of transfer work to be sent to the Office of the Registrar at KSU at the end of the term in which the student attended the other institution. Students must be in good academic standing with a GPA of 2.0 or better; first-year students may have a GPA of 1.7 or better.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES

The Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) is a comprehensive learning center that provides students with personalized academic support in mathematics, writing, reading, science, foreign languages, study strategies, and time management.
