Course Registration – Fall & Summer 2009
March 29, 2009
Below are the dates EKU students can register for their fall and summer classes. Students should be making appointments with your advisors now.
Who is my advisor? Check your CARES report and find out who your advisor is along with his/her contact information. If you have a double major or a minor, you will have multiple advisors. Students need a Registration Access Code (RAC) number in order to register. If you have a financial hold, please talk to Student Accounting Services to get that resolved.
Be sure to review your CARES and bring a list of classes you wish take to your advising appointment. If you have any questions regarding summer classes, pre-requisites, programs, policies, etc., be sure to let your advisor know.

*Advising Tips*
Talk to your professors. What are you doing well? What do you need to improve?
Go to tutoring. Tutoring is free. If it isn’t offered, talk to your professor(s) and see if they can recommend someone in class you can work with. EKU Tutoring Schedule
If your grades are not where you want them to be – do something about it! Ask questions. Pick up your studying. Take notes. Manage your time more effectively. Attend Academic Support Workshops.

Last day to drop a class…
October 30, 2008
Is Friday, October 31. Also known as All Hallows Eve, aka Halloween. It is the night before the “All Hallows,” also called, “All Hallowmas,” or “All Saints,” or “All Souls’ Day,” observed on November 1. This day is to celebrate all of those who have gone before us. Mexicans celebrate El Día de los Muertos — the Day of the Dead — on November 1. They too celebrate the memories of those who have passed away.
So, of course this is great day for students to lay to rest – drop, those classes in which they have no chance in passing. On November 1, they can remember and celebrate all the good times they had in those classes. And they can look forward to finishing the semester strong and being academically successful.
If you need any assistance dropping a class or have any questions please contact Academic Advising & Retention, (859) 622-2276.
Happy Halloween!

Late advising & registration
August 14, 2008
Fall 2008 semester is right around the corner. This is the time Academic Advising & Retention begins to feel it. Those students who are new, transfer, or returning, who do not have a class schedule for the fall are finally realizing that it is August and classes will be beginning soon! In fact, first day of classes at EKU are August 25. We are doing our best to get those students advised and registered. This week we have been seeing students in groups. Career Services is gracious to let us use their classroom and computer lab. We advise the students and then the students go into the computer lab so we can walk them through the registration process. Class availabilities are not the greatest, however, we are doing a pretty good job getting students a full schedule. I say that now, but lets see where we are at next week. Should be fun.
