Transfer Policies and Initiatives

• Applied Associate Transfer Agreement guarantees that the general education courses students take as part of an applied associate in science (AAS) degree program will transfer and count toward the lower-division general education requirements at the school to which they transfer.
• Statewide Transfer Committee addresses current and ongoing policy issues related to transfer.
• 13 KAR 2:020 contains the guidelines for admission to the state-supported postsecondary education institutions in Kentucky
