In-person and virtual advising will be available during normal university operating hours throughout the semester. If you need to discuss your academic goals, major, class schedule, and more, start by contacting your assigned academic advisor by email. It is important that you use your UK email for this communication. If you have issues with your UK email or myUK, please call the IT HelpDesk at 859-218-HELP.

If you feel you need accommodation in the delivery method of your courses due to a medical condition or disability, you will need to register with the Disability Resource Center.

We regularly communicate and connect with our school partners as we navigate the pandemic together. If school and community policies and procedures change, we will work with the students and partners to ensure you are gaining the school-based and community-based experiences you need in order to graduate from UK well-prepared.
