UK Helps St. Catharine Students With Transfer Requests
LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 9, 2016) — The University of Kentucky is helping St. Catharine College students continue their education in the aftermath of last week's announcement that the college in Springfield, Kentucky, would close at the end of July.
The UK Office of Undergraduate Admission and the Transfer Center are assisting students who are interested in transferring to UK. The $50 application fee is being waived for all students applying to transfer to UK on or before June 30, 2016, including St. Catharine students.
"The University of Kentucky recognizes the unique needs of transfer students, particularly those from St. Catharine College," said Mike Shanks, director of the UK Transfer Center. "We encourage each student interested in transferring to contact the Transfer Center to aid in transcript evaluation and admission information.
"Our Transfer Center provides resources to help students transition to UK. Our staff collaborates with other on-campus units to provide the necessary resources for successful progress toward graduation."
At the Transfer Center, students can:
· Discuss transfer course equivalencies prior to admission
· Resolve specific transfer related issues by connecting with a UK staff member
· Discuss transfer planning strategies prior to enrolling at UK
