FERPA & PARENT ACCESS Dual Credit students are enrolled in college courses, so their educational records are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Students are responsible for managing their academic experience but may grant parents or guardians access to designated academic and financial information through the Web-4-Parent service in myEKU.

TUITION & TEXTBOOKS Dual credit students receive a discounted tuition rate established annually by the state. Current tuition rates are available on the EKU Dual Credit website. EKU’s BookSmart program provides required textbooks and materials for applicable courses. Students may choose to opt out and obtain materials from another source.
KHEAA SCHOLARSHIPS EKU accepts both the KHEAA Dual Credit Scholarship and Work Ready Dual Credit Scholarship. General Education courses qualify for the Dual Credit Scholarship, while approved career and technical courses qualify for the Work Ready Dual Credit Scholarship. KHEAA scholarships cover eligible tuition charges only and do not cover textbook or material fees. Scholarships are typically applied to EKU student accounts after midterms (Fall: November | Spring: April), so account balances may not immediately reflect awarded scholarship amounts. High school students apply through their high school. Homeschool students apply directly through KHEAA. Learn more at www.kheaa.com.
