Policies & Initiatives

• Academic Initiatives
  The Council administers academic programs and initiatives to promote postsecondary and adult education reform in Kentucky.
• Academic Policies
  The Council’s academic policies specify guidelines for student admissions, transfer, residency status, dual credit, advanced placement, institutional licensure, and campus safety.
• Assessment of College-Level Learning
  The Assessment of College-Level Learning initiative strives to improve the quality of learning at Kentucky's public institutions to improve learning and support services, extend access, and increase their capacity to serve students and employers. Improved undergraduate student learning ensures that more graduates are prepared for careers and graduate and professional programs. The state-level accountability for college-level learning is positioned as a way to help institutions respond to increasing pressures for evidence of performance from the state, regional accreditation groups, and other external constituents.

  Council also advocates for adequate funding of postsecondary and adult education through biennial budget recommendations, the distribution of trust funds, tuition regulation, and the administration of incentive funding programs.
• Economic Development 
  The Council’s economic development programs focus on expanding knowledge-driven research and development capacity in Kentucky.
• Equal Opportunities
  The Council implements policy and coordinates programs to ensure equitable access to education for all Kentuckians.
