Start Your Application
Most high school transcripts can be ordered at Parchment or requested from your high school counselor. Request a GED transcript here. Don’t forget to send transcripts for all previously attended non-KCTCS colleges for any dual credit classes you may have taken in high school.
Transcripts sent through electronic exchange directly to the student will not be considered an official transcript. Please confirm the transcript is sent to the appropriate SKYCTC contact.
Effective Fall 2024: Homeschool transcripts must be delivered in person. For all transcripts delivered in person, a photo I.D. is required.
For students who do not have transfer credit for college-level math, English, and reading, SKYCTC will use a cumulative high school GPA for placement at this time. High school GPA placement is based on the unweighted cumulative GPA recorded at the end of the most recent term completed.
If you have not met the high school GPA requirement, you may need to submit additional test scores.
Use one of the methods below to submit test scores, or you can schedule placement testing at our Career and Academic Planning Center by calling (270) 901-4339.
- ACT and KYOTE scores can be submitted on a high school transcript.
- You can request ACT scores online. ACT scores are valid for four years, and benchmark scores are as follows: English 14, Math 14, and Reading 16. (If your ACT scores do not meet these benchmarks, please schedule placement testing with the Career and Academic Planning Center at (270) 901-4339.)
- You can request SAT scores online. SAT benchmark scores are: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 440, Mathematics 360.
- AP scores may be used for placement instead of ACT scores.
Apply for financial aid. Scholarships, grants and loans make a great education even more affordable. Get more details on how to pay for college
