Advising note for students planning to transfer to a public university in Kentucky
Transfer frameworks – the second step in the establishment of a seamless education system in Kentucky – are in place. This option in Kentucky’s postsecondary education system helps those students who have definite career goals begin their education at a community college, then transfer to any public university in the state – with the guarantee that ALL credits (taken in compliance with a framework) will transfer toward their program.

Transfer frameworks provide a wonderful opportunity for students. All a student must do is plan ahead and follow the instructions in the Transfer Framework Guidebook to receive the benefits of this guarantee.

A 60-credit hour framework has been designed by a partnership of the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), the public universities, and the KCTCS community colleges for over 180 different bachelor’s degree programs (majors) offered in the state. The transfer framework option is an extension of the General Education Transfer Policy which was introduced in January 1996.

The General Education Transfer Policy allows a student the option of enrolling in a community college without a major – or with no clear idea as to an eventual career choice – and still having the general education credits accepted when the student transfers to a university. Following the guidelines of this policy, a student may successfully transfer up to 60 hours of college credit to any public university in the state without deciding on a major.

The guarantee of the ability to transfer credits under the General Education Transfer Policy is the same as for the transfer frameworks, and the student must follow the guidelines established in the Policy. The transfer frameworks extend the General Education Policy by identifying 12 hours of coursework in a major. Information about specific frameworks may be obtained from a career counselor or by going to the CPE Web site:
