Student Resources

The  degree audit system in myUK GPS maintains the "official" record of the general education requirements that a student has fulfilled. In addition, the degree audit provides the student an opportunity to evaluate where they stand regarding how their completed courses (and transfer courses, if applicable) apply to their degree program and any declared minors. MyUK GPS allows students to plan future courses and evaluate how their completed coursework may even apply toward other degree programs and minors if they are interested in a double major, dual degree and/or a minor.

UK Core officially began with students that entered UK in the Fall 2011 semester. All students must complete 30 hours in the UK Core through coursework completed at UK, applicable transfer coursework, AP credit or a combination thereof.

Yes. As is the case with AP credit, when academic credit is assigned for a course taken at another institution, that course is "linked" with a UK course. Any UK Core requirement fulfilled by that UK course is also fulfilled by the transferred course. As always, please contact your academic advisor regarding specific questions.

Students who transfer to UK with an AA, AS or a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution will have earned credit for all UK Core requirements. These students will also show completion of the foreign language requirement as a result of earning one of these degrees. Higher level foreign language requirements may be required based upon the major/college chosen.
