Concurrent Enrollment
Concurrent Enrollment Form
An Eastern Kentucky University undergraduate student may be considered for undergraduate
Concurrent Admission to the Graduate School to enroll in graduate
course work or be considered for special provisional admission
to a graduate degree program.
To be eligible for undergraduate
concurrent admission, the student must:
- Maintain a minimum of a 3.0 undergraduate GPA
- Need 30 or fewer credit hours to complete all of the requirements
of the baccalaureate degree
- Have an overall
undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.0 at the time of
admission.
- Maintain an overall undergraduate
grade point average of at least 3.0 and a graduate grade point
average of at least 3.0 to continue in the undergraduate concurrent
program.
Students who wish to be considered for provisional
admission to a graduate degree program are advised to take the
GRE or other appropriate test during their junior year or during the
first semester they hold undergraduate concurrent admission status.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
- Students may earn a maximum of 12 graduate credit hours while
holding undergraduate concurrent admission status.
- A maximum
academic load of 15 hours during a regular fall or spring semester
and of nine hours during the summer session is permissible when
the student is concurrently enrolled in graduate and undergraduate
level course work.
- Students seeking concurrent admission must complete an Application for Admission to the
Graduate School at least 30 days prior to requesting enrollment
in any graduate classes.
- Undergraduate concurrent admission to
Graduate School must be supported by all appropriate advisors
and college deans, as well as the Dean of Graduate Education and
Research.
NOTE: Federal regulations permit undergraduate students to
receive
financial assistance only for coursework required for their current degree program.
Students who are enrolled in both undergraduate and graduate
course work in the same semester
may receive less financial aid than if only enrolled for undergraduate course work. Students are
advised to contact EKU’s Division of Student Financial Assistance
to find out how their financial aid amount would be adjusted for mixed
enrollment.
