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.
