General Education Transfer Agreement (GETA)
GETA is just another term for an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree. The AA or AS degrees are guaranteed to transfer 48 credit hours to any public Kentucky college and are accepted by several private and out-of-state colleges as well. These degrees are a good choice for students who know they want to transfer to a four-year institution, but do not know exactly which school. Learn more about these degrees and how they can help you transfer successfully.
Transfer Guides for Specific Universities
University-specific transfer guides are best used with students who know the school they are transferring to. These students will be best served by using the transfer guide materials for their school and major. Most transfer guides list only the university’s general education program and others only list a course-to-course transfer matrix. View transfer guides from regional universities.
U.Select
U.Select is an online advising system that assists students and faculty advisors in planning for transfer. This is the best transfer guide option for Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University, Kentucky University, and Western Kentucky University. The U.Select system allows you to manually enter your coursework and grades into a password-protected account which can be updated as needed. From there, you can indicate which baccalaureate, institution, and major you want to transfer into. The system then compiles a degree audit on the coursework, producing a report indicating which requirements are met and which are left to be taken. Since your coursework is saved in your account, you can request numerous degree audits with a click of the mouse. The following instructions can help you navigate the U.Select website:
