College Admissions in Kentucky  \nA Case for Collective Action  \n2025  \nAbout the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education  \nThe Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) is the state’s higher education coordinating agency committed to strengthening our workforce, economy and quality of life. We do this by guiding the continuous improvement and efficient operation of a high-quality, diverse and accessible system of postsecondary education.  \nKey responsibilities include:  \n• Developing and implementing a strategic agenda for postsecondary education that includes measures of progress.  \n• Producing and submitting a biennial budget request for adequate public funding of postsecondary education.  \n• Determining tuition rates and admission criteria at public postsecondary institutions.  \n• Collecting and distributing data about postsecondary education performance.  \n• Ensuring the coordination and connectivity of technology among public institutions.  \n• Licensing non-public postsecondary institutions to operate in the Commonwealth.  \nContents  \nFrom the CPE President ............................................ 4  \nA Call to Redesign with Purpose ...................................... 5  \nProject and Process Overview ....................................... 6  \nDiscovery Project 1: Data Exploration .................................. 8  \nDiscovery Project 2: AI Webinar Series ................................. 9  \nDiscovery Project 3: Admissions Staff Focus Groups....................... 10  \nDiscovery Project 4: Student Journey Mapping .......................... 11  \nStrategic Priorities and Shared Commitments ........................... 12  \nWhat’s Next: Moving from Redesign to Implementation .................... 14  \nOur Admissions Redesign Partners ................................... 16  \nAbout the Kentucky Student Success Collaborative (KYSSC)  \nTo accelerate meaningful transformation of student success priorities and challenges, the CPE launched the Kentucky Student Success Collaborative (KYSSC), a first-of-its-kind statewide program supporting holistic student success and greater degree completion. The KYSSC works with diverse campus and community stakeholders to develop and lead collaborative work around critical strategy areas, such as mental health, transfer, gateway courses, basic needs, and adult attainment to advance the state’s strategic agenda and 60x30 goal. The KYSSC is made possible through funding from the James Graham Brown Foundation.  \n3  \nFrom the CPE President  \nDear Colleagues,  \nAs Kentucky faces workforce demands and increasing questions about the value of a postsecondary credential, we must reexamine every point at which higher education touches a student’s life. One of the most critical, and often overlooked, is the moment of entry: admissions.  \nThe policies and processes that shape admissions are the first things students encounter. They influence how students perceive higher education and whether they feel welcomed  \nand supported. Too often, these systems reflect outdated,  \noverly bureaucratic practices and create unnecessary obstacles for students. That’s why we are undertaking a strategic redesign of college admissions in Kentucky; not as a matter of procedure, but asa key strategy for boosting enrollment and advancing student success.  \nAs we embark on this work, we cannot limit ourselves to removing barriers alone. We also must focus on proactively building clear, accessible, and student-centered pathways informed by national research and best practices. That means broadening our approach to redesign-ensuring it’s not just about meeting enrollment targets, but about nurturing students’ desire to learn and equipping them for long-term success.  \nI am proud of the work of our Kentucky Student Success Collaborative in bringing campuses together to look at admissions processes and procedures from the student’s perspective, as well as our campuses for being willing to innovate an","cbCaiabpJCu6Hv7Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiabpJCu6Hv7Q","pdf",4321615,18,"English","# From the CPE President\n## A Call to Redesign with Purpose\n## Project and Process Overview\n## Discovery Project 1: Data Exploration\n## Discovery Project 2: AI Webinar Series\n## Discovery Project 3: Admissions Staff Focus Groups\n## Discovery Project 4: Student Journey Mapping\n## Strategic Priorities and Shared Commitments\n## What’s Next: Moving from Redesign to Implementation\n## Our Admissions Redesign Partners","[{\"question\":\"Why does the report focus on college admissions in Kentucky?\",\"answer\":\"Admissions are highlighted as the critical entry moment that shapes students’ perceptions of higher education and affects whether they feel welcomed and supported.\"},{\"question\":\"What problems with current admissions processes does the report address?\",\"answer\":\"It describes fragmented, confusing procedures that add unnecessary obstacles, leading some students to disengage, miss financial aid, or lose opportunities to enroll.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the KYSSC support the admissions redesign effort?\",\"answer\":\"The KYSSC works with campus and community stakeholders to develop collaborative strategy areas and leads a comprehensive admissions redesign effort in partnership with public colleges and universities.\"}]","Redesigning College Admissions in Kentucky - A Case for Collective Action - 2025 | PDF",1792054170,45]
