Students from Simmons College can transfer credits to KCTC, as well as KCTC students can transfer credits to Simmons College. It gives students the opportunity to maximize courses.
School officials said the plan will increase graduation rates and alternative pathways.
"The pathway is laid, we always discuss with each student their individual academic need and so we want them to be certain in coming here that we can meet their need academically making the connections," said Dr. Frank Smith with Simmons College of Kentucky.
The reverse transfer will help students complete an associate's degree.
