Students from Other Colleges and Universities:
These students are advised to check with the appropriate academic dean at their school for approval of the selected course(s).
Veterans and Military Personnel:
The University of Kentucky Independent Study Program's courses are approved for the enrollment of veterans and other eligible persons by the Kentucky Approving Agency for Veterans Education. Veterans should contact their local Veterans Administration Officer for information concerning the benefits available and eligibility requirements. Active members of the military should check with their Base Educational Officer for this information. Tuition payment and/or authorization for billing must be submitted with all enrollment applications.
High School Students:
When high school students enroll for college level courses, their applications must contain the signature of the student's counselor or principal and they must meet University of Kentucky selective admission requirements. Students planning to enroll in college after graduating from high school should consult with the college they plan to attend about credit transfer restrictions. The University of Kentucky will accept all credits earned through this program.
