KCTCS to UK Your pathway to success
Welcome future Wildcat!
Transfer Tuesdays
(Transfer Tuesdays do not apply to Transfer Common Application submissions.)
If you apply to UK on a Transfer Tuesday for the upcoming academic year, we'll waive your $50 application fee! All you have to do is fully submit your application on any of the Transfer Tuesday dates below. Contact us with any questions!
Steps to Verify Your Fee Waiver
- Fill out your application to the University of Kentucky and click Submit.
- That's it! We'll take care of waiving your fee from there, as long as you fully submit your application on a Transfer Tuesday date.
Please note: You must submit your application to UK on a Transfer Tuesday for your application fee to be waived. Your fee may not automatically be reflected as waived in your application portal, but if you applied on a Transfer Tuesday date, your admission officer will take care of waiving your fee when they process your application.
Additionally, you must be applying to UK as a transfer student; if you are a freshman, readmitted student or non-degree applicant, this promotion will not apply to your application. Please contact admissions@uky.edu with any questions about fee waivers for those application types.

Transfer Credit Tool
The Transfer Credit Tool is designed to allow prospective students to see how the college credits they've earned at other institution(s) will transfer to UK to complete their four-year degree. The Transfer Credit tool is not a submission of credits to UK for admissions review. All students are required to request official copies of their transcripts to be submitted with their application for an admissions decision.
Current UK students are encouraged to use the UK TES Database to check equivalencies or contact UKtransfer@uky.edu for additional information.
