Any graduate programs covered by an articulation agreement between Eastern Kentucky University and other colleges or universities are excluded from the transfer limit.

Only the transferred work for the degree program will be used to calculate the overall grade point average (GPA). Credits earned at other institutions may be transferred only when grade points of “B” (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or above has been earned. The credit-producing experience must be taught by a graduate faculty member with scholarly competence in the subject matter area to be considered for transfer. Graduate credit for “special workshop courses” may be considered for transfer only when it can be clearly documented that the course in question meets Eastern Kentucky University’s graduate instructional standards and is clearly distinguishable from undergraduate work and from continuing education activities. Students on academic probation cannot take a course from another institution for the purpose of transferring the credit to their program.
