Students enrolled in this program are eligible to take up to four courses of pre-major and major coursework at ²Ø¾«¸ó while pursuing an associate degree at GCTC. Gateway2²Ø¾«¸ó students pay the GCTC tuition rate to ²Ø¾«¸ó for the allotted four ²Ø¾«¸ó courses. Students taking classes at ²Ø¾«¸ó through the program will also pay part-time student fees per credit hour. Some courses may also incur specific charges from the respective college. Students pay for their GCTC and ²Ø¾«¸ó bills separately.
The four courses must be spread out over the span of several semesters. The number of courses a student is able to take at ²Ø¾«¸ó in a given semester is based on earned and in-progress hours. Students with 15 earned and in-progress hours are eligible to take their first course at ²Ø¾«¸ó. Once students have at least 30 earned and in-progress hours, they are eligible to take a second course at ²Ø¾«¸ó. After 45 earned and in-progress hours, students can take their last two courses. If a student has 45 or more earned and in progress hours but has yet to take any classes at ²Ø¾«¸ó through the Gateway2²Ø¾«¸ó program, he or she would be eligible to take two courses in the first semester of the program.
Students must never exceed the maximum of two courses at ²Ø¾«¸ó in any given semester through the Gateway2²Ø¾«¸ó program. Students enrolled in the Gateway2²Ø¾«¸ó program are eligible to take courses at ²Ø¾«¸ó that are not offered at GCTC or online through KCTCS. While enrolled in ²Ø¾«¸ó courses through the program, students are not eligible to take courses at ²Ø¾«¸ó above and beyond the Gateway2²Ø¾«¸ó program courses.
The pathway guides are advising tools designed to help community college students plan for transferring to ²Ø¾«¸ó to complete their baccalaureate degree. The pathway guides also constitute an agreement between community colleges and universities confirming that community college courses meet major preparation requirements.
Students graduating from Bellevue, Dayton, Holmes, Lloyd, Ludlow and Newport High Schools in Kentucky after May 2020 are eligible for the River City Promise Program. Federal Pell Grant eligible students will receive a scholarship to cover tuition. It is renewable for up to twelve semesters or six years.
