Steps for Transfer Students

(International students should review the section on Steps for International Transfer Students.)

Provide official transcript(s) from the the institution(s) you have attended -- you must have a cumulative 2.0 Grade Point Average on a 4.0 scale or its equivalent and be eligible to return to each institution previously attended. Transcripts must be sent directly to the EKU Admissions Office. Students who do not meet the criteria, particularly non-traditional students, and who have not been enrolled in a college or university for a minimum period of two years may apply for admission under the provisions of EKU's academic bankruptcy policy. Please contact the Office of Admissions for information at 859-622-2106 or 800-465-9191.
If you have completed less than 24 semester hours of college work, provide an official copy of your high school records and ACT or SAT scores.
Provide the $30 application fee -- This is a nonrefundable processing fee.

Once You've Applied

Apply for campus housing. Please answer the appropriate question on the Application for Undergraduate Admission. A housing application will be mailed after you have been notified of admission to the university.

All single, full-time undergraduate students under the age of 21 or having fewer than 60 hours are required to live in university residence hall facilities. Exception is made for students residing with their parents in the parent's principle residence within 50 miles of the Richmond campus as determined by an official state map. Full time students must be 21 years of age or have completed 59 hours prior to the first day of class of any given semester to live off campus for that semester. Students living off campus who fail to meet either of these requirements will be assessed the lowest residence hall fee. An additional Commuter Information form must be completed to request the exception. Falsification of information subjects the student to applicable fees and/or disciplinary procedures. Regardless of age, certain regulations apply in residence halls. The university reserves the right to approve or deny housing for those over the age of 21. (See the Housing website for additional information.)
