College Admissions

The College Admissions policy contains the minimum qualifications for institutional admission as first-time freshmen (Section 2), precollege curriculum assessment (Section 3), and guidelines for the assessment and placement of students (Section 6).

• Proposed 2009 Revision 13 KAR 2:020. Guidelines for admission to the state-supported postsecondary education institutions in Kentucky.
• 2007 13 KAR 2:20. Guidelines for admission to the state-supported postsecondary education institutions in Kentucky.

The statewide placement policy is applicable to any incoming student entering a Kentucky public postsecondary institution. ACT and SAT standards form the basis of the policy because Kentucky uses the ACT (or equivalent measures) for college admissions and placement decisions.
