GREETINGS FROM Gateway COMMUNITY & TECHNICAL COLLEGE!

Thank you for your continued support and involvement in ensuring student success. We understand that the process of guiding students through their college search can be overwhelming. We hope that the information below will help you simplify the process for students and get them excited about the road ahead.

Should you or your students wish to visit one of our campuses, we would love to schedule a tour. A campus visit is the perfect opportunity to explore our facilities, meet our students, and see what Gateway has to offer. To schedule a campus visit, please visit Visit Campus for direct contact information.

Do you have a student that could benefit from information about the college or who may be interested in attending? Please consider completing the Refer a Student form and we will send them information about the college!

Submitting Documents

Gateway has moved to electronic student files. We would appreciate your assistance with this transition by submitting requested transcripts electronically through Parchment. As always, we are still accepting transcripts via direct mail. All students are required to submit a high school transcript with posted graduation date to complete their admission file. We also ask students to submit test scores to determine course placement their first semester. For more information on the admissions process for incoming freshmen, please visit First-Time Freshman.

Scholarships

We offer a variety of scholarship opportunities to support the financial needs of students. For a complete list of current scholarships, please review Available Scholarships. To apply, students must complete an online profile and submit the scholarship application along with the required supporting documentation. 

Material Requests

As always, we want you and your students to have the information necessary to help guide the college search. If you, your colleagues, or students would like informational materials, please call (859) 442-4500.

Support for English Language Learners (ELL)

Do you work with students whose primary language is not English? Gateway offers dedicated support for English Language Learners to help them succeed in college and beyond.

School counselors can refer ELL students to Gateway by emailing GW-ELL@kctcs.edu. Our team will follow up with next steps, which may include an orientation session, language placement testing, and guidance on course selection.

Gateway supports ELL students through:

  • Orientation events designed specifically for English language learners
  • Language placement testing to ensure students are placed in the right level of English instruction
  • Access to credit-bearing ESL courses that build reading, writing, and academic vocabulary
  • Ongoing advising and support throughout their academic journey

These services are designed to ensure a smooth transition from high school to college and to help ELL students thrive in their chosen programs.

If you have questions or would like to connect your student with our team, please email GW-ELL@kctcs.edu.
