The Admitted Student portal is accessible from your Application Portal by following the “Your Next Steps” button, or you can log directly into the portal using the link below.
In the Admitted Student Portal you can:
- Add your photo for your Colonel Card
- Review your registration checklist
- Review personal information
- Understand how your classes transferred and your remaining degree requirements through your EKU Degreeworks
- Contact your advisor and register for classes once your registration window opens
- See a summary of your Financial Aid Information and access your Financial Aid Dashboard
- Search for available Foundation Scholarships and check your eligibility
- View a repository of resources and quick links
- Access calendars that detail the academic timetable and other activities around campus
Learn more about how your courses transferred to EKU and your remaining degree requirements through your EKU DegreeWorks.
This degree audit will show your transfer courses and how they are currently applying to your degree.
If no courses are appearing anywhere on the audit, your transfer work is still in the process of being recorded.
If your courses have appeared on the audit, but they are in the elective section with an EKU N100 equivalent, then they are currently being reviewed by EKU faculty.
Your assigned academic advisor is also listed in your EKU DegreeWorks. You’ll need to meet with your advisor before scheduling classes.
You’re ready to schedule classes once:
- You’ve met with your assigned EKU academic advisor and received your RAC number
- The registration window for your graduating class is open.
Transfer students with fewer than 24 hours who enter the university in a fall term may benefit from attending a Summer Orientation. This is an opportunity to learn more about campus, meet with your academic programs, and schedule classes.
Your Colonel Card serves as your official EKU ID and is used for services on campus like meal plans, building access, student athletic tickets, class attendance, Colonel Cash and as a library card.
Bringing a car to campus means that you will need a place to park! Learn more about EKU parking locations, parking pass fees, and campus shuttles by visiting the parking website.
Are you planning to live on campus? If so, apply for housing online. Please note that the housing application opens at specific times each year.
- Submit your housing application through the Housing Portal.
- Complete the roommate match questions included in the application. Please answer these questions honestly. You will have the opportunity to match or pull in a roommate later in the process.
- Room selection will begin in June for incoming Fall students. You will have the opportunity to select your living space and pull in a roommate then.
- If you do not have a roommate in mind, you will have the opportunity to use matching software to match with one.
- Room selection dates and times are randomly assigned by Housing and Residence Life. After you apply for housing, keep an eye on your EKU email for information on when you can select your space.
All single, full-time, undergraduate students under the age of 21, having fewer than 60 hours, or less than four academic semesters living on campus are required to live in EKU residence hall facilities. An exception is made for students living with their parents in the parents’ primary residence within 50 miles of the Richmond campus. If you meet the exception, an additional form must be completed and returned to the Office Housing & Residence Life.
