Career and Transfer Services Center

Career And Transfer Services (CATS) Center is here to help you complete what you have started at Southeast. Whether you are undecided about your career, deciding where to transfer, or getting ready to look for a job after graduation, we have services to assist you.

Our primary mission is to assist students in making the transition from Southeast to another college/university. The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees are designed to provide the general core of any four year college degree. There are numerous options for completing your bachelor's degree - many which were not available only a few years ago.

CATS is a resource to help you with decisions about your career, transfer college/university, and finding employment. There is a CATS center located on each campus. There are counselors at Harlan, Middlesboro, and Whitesburg to assist you. The centers are full of excellent resources to help.

It is never too early to begin thinking about your major and transfer institution. Transitioning to the next level of education or employment does not have to be difficult. Drop- in or make an appointment for assistance with these important decisions.

Admission Information

Ready to get started? Start by completing an application for admission and provide transcripts from your current and previous educational institutions. Transfer admission decisions will be based upon your academic records at all educational institutions you've attended. You must be in good academic standing and eligible to return immediately to the last institution you attended.

Accreditation Requirements for Transfer Course

Degree credit work taken at a fully accredited college or university is recognized credit hour for credit hour. Quarter hours are recognized as two-thirds (2/3) of a semester hour. In order to be classified as fully accredited, a college or university must be a member of an accrediting association.

Academic credit from a non-accredited college or university may be obtained by special subject examinations or may be validated by completion of twelve (12) credit hours, excluding developmental or remedial courses, with a grade point of at least 2.0.

Transfer Course Equivalency Appeals

College staff attempt to make valid course equivalencies for recognized transfer courses in a timely manner.

Students who disagree with the credit awarded for transfer courses, and who have supplied all the required supporting information, may appeal the decision by submitting a written request to the Chief Student Affairs Officer
