What appeal do students have in the case of misunderstandings or disagreements?
Each institution has a process for appeals related to the General Education Transfer Policy. Also, each institution will appoint a person to serve as the official institutional liaison with respect to the policy. Students in need of assistance should contact that individual.
Who are considered transfer students?
Transfer students are those who transfer from one public higher education institution (sending institution) to another public higher education institution (receiving institution) with the intention of completing their educational program at the receiving institution.
Who are transient (or visiting) students?
Transient students are students in good standing in any recognized institution who enroll in another institution with the intention of transferring the credits earned to their home institution.
Does the transfer policy allow students to receive duplicate credit by taking courses at one institution and repeating equivalent or similar courses at another institution?
No. The General Education Transfer Policy does not impact the policies of the respective institutions with regard to duplicate course credit. Students should work closely with their academic advisors to make appropriate course selections before and after transferring from one institution to another.
How will college credit earned through high school dual enrollment be evaluated for meeting general education requirements?
Students earning college credit while completing secondary school requirements will have those credits evaluated to determine whether they meet the statewide general education learning outcomes.

Kentucky General Education Transfer Policy
In an effort to promote a seamless transfer between Kentucky two-year and four-year public institutions, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) developed a policy to facilitate the transfer of credits from one Kentucky public college or university to another. This policy implemented in 1996 and revised in 2011, is called the General Education Transfer Policy and allows for the automatic transfer of a block of courses to satisfy general education degree requirements.
