🚀 Exciting news for Kentucky students! Campus leaders from the University of Kentucky and KCTCS announced an exciting partnership yesterday.

So basically in the 1990s and further back. You could graduate from a community college in the state of Kentucky with associates degree from the University of Kentucky and transferred to UK to get your complete your bachelors degree then the genius Paul Patton and the and general assembly decided to take away the community college system away from UK and turn it into the community college and technical college system in Kentucky now we're back to giving associates degrees in letting them transfer to UK so I guess what is this point if they would have left s*** alone in the first place all these years kids could have been graduating with a degree from UK and still go on and get their bachelors if they wanted to from UK.

Gee, just like it used to be when they were University of Kentucky Community Colleges. What a new and creative thought.
Love this as someone who benefited from beginning my higher education journey at KCTCS and transitioning to UK. The faculty were wonderful to work with and I am so happy to see others benefiting from this partnership.

When the community colleges were part of UK, both the credits and the GPA transferred. Currently community college GPA’s do not transfer. I could not find any mention of GPA’s in the links. Is there a change to this? Really sucks for students work work hard for a good GPA at the community college and have it be a blank on their transfer credits at UK.

So excited to see this! In all my years at KCTCS I had hoped for this opportunity. Seeing that opportunity develop as an external individual and alumni, I couldn't be more excited for current and future students!
As a Hopkinsville Community College and UK alumni I know this will be great opportunity for graduates. It’s been a decade but I finished my associates degree in 1.5 years and all my credits transferred right over.
As an LCC/KCTCS Graduate, I am thankful to hear that this partnership has been renewed after years of disconnect! I hope that it grows our population of students moving toward a Bachelor's degree once obtaining an Associate's degree!

2wAs a high school dropout and eventual alternative school graduate, BCTC (then known as LCC) provided me an excellent opportunity to return to formal education. I was able to transfer from LCC to UK, from which I earned a BA. I’m now an entrepreneur and hold a graduate diploma in strategic finance from Oxford. This trajectory would’ve been impossible without the opportunities I earned by enrolling in the KCTCS system so many years ago.
