Students enrolled at the University of Pikeville who wish to take a course at another accredited institution for credit toward a University of Pikeville degree must complete the Permission to Study Off-Campus form prior to enrolling in the course. The Permission to Study Off-Campus form is available in the Registrar’s Office and requires approval from the student’s Academic Advisor and the University Registrar or the appropriate academic Dean. Once the approved course is completed with a grade of “C” or better, the student must submit an official transcript showing the completed course before it can be used to meet a University of Pikeville degree requirement. Repeating a course at another institution will not change the grade received at the University of Pikeville for the same course. Students wishing to take courses off campus while taking courses at the University of Pikeville will be limited to a combined load of eighteen hours for the fall and spring terms and seven hours for summer terms (see Student Course Load). Students on probation will not be allowed to enroll in off- campus courses while taking courses at the University of Pikeville.
