Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College Acceptance Rate, GPA, and Admission Requirements

SKYCTC's Practical Nursing and Registered Nursing programs currently hold ACEN "candidate for initial accreditation" status, effective September 11, 2024, with that candidacy expiring September 11, 2026. Confirm the program's exact current status directly with the college before committing, since candidacy and full accreditation aren't the same thing and the timeline is actively running.

Nursing applicants cannot submit their formal admission application without first attending a mandatory pre-application orientation session, and access to that session is only granted after meeting with a nursing program advisor. Schedule that advisor meeting well ahead of the May 15 application deadline, since the orientation is a prerequisite step, not something you can do in parallel with finishing your application.

Nursing applicants must show proof of active status on the Kentucky Medicaid Nurse Aide Registry as part of the application itself. Get CNA-certified and confirm your active registry status well in advance, since this is required to apply - it isn't something completed once you're already in the program.

SKYCTC highlights a route for Kentucky residents with a high school diploma (or working toward a GED), who don't already hold an associate degree or higher, to earn up to 60 credit hours tuition-free with no work or apprenticeship requirement attached. Check this specific eligibility window before assuming a tuition-free path requires a job commitment.
