Application

Once you are admitted to EKU, you will receive an email from Admissions  stating that you have been accepted. A few days after you are admitted, you will receive another email that will have your student ID number (EKU does not use social security numbers) and information on how to access your MyEKU account and EKU email. Please keep your student ID number with you on campus.

You can always refer back to the emails you first received, or reach out to the dual credit office so that we may resend them.

Your MyEKU account is your connection to campus services. These services include registering for classes, checking your midterm and final grades, and much more.

You will activate your MyEKU and student email with emails you will receive a day or two after being admitted to the university. You will receive your EKU ID number, your email address and your temporary password for EKU email account access. Please keep this information confidential and easily accessible. After you successfully log in, you will secure your account with two-factor authentication.

• Why do you feel you were unsuccessful in the course the first time you took it?

Because of procedures to assign state dual credit scholarships through KHEAA, student accounts will not reflect scholarships, and will have a tuition balance, until November for Fall semester and April for the Spring semester. However, students may pay for course materials and tuition, if not using a KHEAA Scholarship, invoiced at any time. We will email students when accounts are accurate but students are encouraged to check their EKU Direct account as well. Both KHEAA scholarships have separate applications – Dual Credit and Work Ready – through the KHEAA website.
