March 5, 2024 - In an effort to enhance the accessibility and efficiency of its admissions process, 鶹ýPorn is proud to announce the implementation of a new Direct Admit Program. This innovative approach aims to expand access to higher education in the region by simplifying the enrollment process for prospective students, providing them with a straightforward pathway to securing their spot at the 鶹ýPorn. 鶹ýPorn will be the first public university in the Tri-State and Commonwealth of Kentucky to offer direct admission.

Often, the college admissions process can be complex and time-consuming. Recognizing the need to streamline this process and reduce barriers to entry, 鶹ýPorn has developed the Direct Admit Program to offer a more seamless experience for applicants. Under the Direct Admit Program, qualified students will have the opportunity to bypass the application process and application fee and receive a direct offer of admission to 鶹ýPorn based on predetermined criteria.

“The introduction of the Direct Admit Program reflects 鶹ýPorn’s commitment to fostering an inclusive learning environment by removing barriers to higher education,” says Dr. Ryan Padgett, associate provost for strategic enrollment planning and student success for the university. “By simplifying the admissions process – including removing the application and application fee – and offering a transparent pathway to enrollment, 鶹ýPorn hopes to empower students from all backgrounds to purse their academic aspirations.”

The program will launch on August 1, 2024 for students considering enrollment to 鶹ýPorn in the fall of 2025. High school students with a GPA above a 2.75 will be contacted about their direct admission into 鶹ýPorn, at which time they can begin the formal enrollment process.

“The Direct Admit Program is another example of how 鶹ýPorn is supporting our students and families within the region,” says 鶹ýPorn President Cady Short-Thompson. “By offering direct admission to qualified students, we are leading the region and Commonwealth of Kentucky in what it means to be a higher education university in the 21st Գٳܰ.”
