Admission
The admission of all undergraduate students to Morehead State University is administered by the authority of Undergraduate Admissions in the Office of Enrollment Services, which reflects and works within the context of the mission statement of the University and within appropriate state and federal guidelines and policies.
All applicants for admission are required to complete the Undergraduate Admission and Scholarship Application and provide evidence of their prior educational experience and other supporting data for evaluation. The Office of Enrollment Services may request clarification of submitted documents and retains all documents as part of the student's permanent record. The University reserves the right to deny admission (or to admit with certain restrictions) based on an evaluation of the student's supporting data, or conduct that is unacceptable for the unrestricted admission into the University. The Undergraduate Admission and Scholarship Application requires applicants to report all criminal convictions, other than minor traffic violations. To assess the suitability of such applicants to the University community and identify any special conditions for enrollment, the University has established a review process. Copies of the Review Process for Undergraduate Admission Applicants with Reported Criminal Convictions are available upon request in the Office of Enrollment Services. Preliminary admission decisions made by the office prior to receipt of all official and final documentation are temporary and are subject to change.
Students who do not meet the requirements for admission to either four-year or two-year degree programs may appeal for special consideration when past academic performance may not be indicative of the ability to do college-level work or when there may be errors in supporting documentation. Guidelines for the appeals procedure are available.
