At the heart of Kentucky Christian University is the desire to serve our students' needs with great care and consideration, modeling the example of Christ and placing others above ourselves. The KCU Student Services department is here to ensure that each student's needs are being met in a consistent and timely manner, so you can focus on the things that matter most. By serving our students effectively, we can intentionally create a learning environment that allows them to focus on their relationship with Christ, develop character, and prepare for a successful career.
If you have been a part of the KCU family for very long, you have likely become acquainted with our three C's Christ, Character, and Career. At the heart of KCU is the desire to emulate the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and lead our students in doing the same. Therefore, the Student Services department is committed to providing services that help equip and encourage students in their faith as they come to know Christ more fully, grow in the character of Christ, and prepare for their career. Whether through various counseling services offered within our student support services or dorm devotionals designed to be an integral part of student housing, Christ is the standard by which we serve our student population.
In the same way that Jesus serves as our standard for serving the KCU student body. He is also the standard by which we define our expectations for students. As a Christian University, we are committed to being a community of Christians. They display the character of Christ and maintain a lifestyle consistent with His teachings within the word of God. Within our Student Handbook, we have defined these expectations in detail and require that each of our students agree to abide by these guidelines during their time as students at KCU.
Rather than viewing these expectations as merely an obligation, we pray that each student would come to embrace these standards as a practice in developing one's character and being shapes into the likeness of Christ. That being said, each student must understand that the University requires adherence to these expectations. Therefore, it must also carry out corrective action if a student's behavior or lifestyle choices are inconsistent with the KCU Student Handbook. In this way, we can promote a living and learning environment on campus that is beneficial for our students and God-honoring.
The Career Resource Center at Kentucky Christian University is an employment assistance center committed to serving Kentucky Christian University students. Students should become involved in their career planning during their freshman year. The basis of Kentucky Christian University's Career Service Center is a strong campus-wide vocational theory that understands the need for career development over the students' career/life span.
