The following is a statewide residency policy affecting students at all public higher education institutions in Kentucky, including Kentucky State University. It was established by the Council on Postsecondary Education and is subject to change. Additional information can be obtained from the Office of Admissions.
The Office of Admissions determines the residency status of students at the time of application to the University in compliance with 13 Kentucky Administrative Regulation 2:045. A student who questions his/her residency status, whether a new applicant or a currently enrolled student, should direct all inquiries to the Office of Admissions. Upon completion of the required affidavit by the student and submission of all required documentation, a written residency decision will be made by the Office of Admissions. A student may appeal this decision within 14 days from the date of the residency decision through the Office of Admissions to the University Residency Admission/Recruitment Committee, which is established to consider residency-classification appeals. The University Residency Admission/Recruitment Committee shall issue its written decision and shall notify the student within 45 days of the receipt of the appeal. Appeals should be addressed to the Director of Admissions, Kentucky State University, 400 E. Main Street, Academic Services Building, Frankfort, KY 40601. If the decision by the committee is not satisfactory, a student may make a final appeal to the Executive Director of the Council on Postsecondary Education, 1024 Capital Center Drive, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.
