Advising

TRANSFERS & CHANGE-OF-MAJORS

Students transferring from another university or community college or from another college on campus will be advised initially by a professional advisor from the Dean’s Office before being assigned an advisor/mentor in their department.

ADVISOR APPOINTMENTS

Students wishing to make an appointment should contact their advisor directly. All College of Fine Arts students will receive an e-mail with detailed instruction about registration advising one month before Priority Registration. Students are encouraged to use GPS in MyUK to assist with planning coursework prior to meeting with their advisors.

To get the most from your advisor:

• make appointments so your advisor has sufficient time for you
• write down your questions
• share your academic and non-academic goals, problems, and worries; talk about your successes
• be assertive, ask questions
• keep a record of your academic progress
• read the rules and requirements that affect you in the University Bulletin

GRADUATE STUDENTS & PhD CANDIDATES

The specialized nature of graduate study requires specialized attention.
