Upper Division
Application

  Banner2.jpg

The Gatton College is a selective admissions college.  You must meet complete pre-major coursework requirements and maintain a 2.8 pre-major and cumulative grade point average (this requirement can be raised up to 3.0). You must be admitted to upper-division status before you can advance-register in junior- and senior-level business courses and before you can earn a baccalaureate degree from the Gatton College.

You will be admitted for upper-division if you:

  1. Enroll in the University of Kentucky.
  2. Complete at least 54 semester hours of college-level credit with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or the current Annual Admission GPA*, whichever is lower.
  3. Complete the required English/pre-major component (see the B & E Checksheet) with a minimum GPA of 3.0 or the current Annual Admission GPA*, whichever is lower.
  4. Submit an upper-division application.

Lack one or two courses but have the GPA?

Students who need one or two English/pre-major courses will be permitted to complete the courses simultaneously with restricted coursework,if they have junior standing and the minimum cumulative and English/pre-major GPAs. This privilege, known as a "contract," will be granted for one semester only. See an advisor in room 235 to complete your contract.
