The Office of Admissions is charged with admitting students to the University. Of paramount concern to the University as a whole is the health, welfare, and safety of our students, and the protection and preservation of their property. As a component of such, the Admissions Application will inquire as to the existence and nature of disciplinary history and/or criminal background. This policy shall apply, without limitation, to any individual requesting admission to the University. All applicants and former applicants are required to report such information in order to have their application considered complete, and in order to determine their eligibility to be admitted to Northern Kentucky University.

I agree to notify the proper officials of the institution of any changes in the information provided.
