University of Pikeville takes great pride in the emphasis placed on assisting individual students in assessing their academic backgrounds and aptitudes, in planning career goals and objectives, in encouraging the successful completion of academic goals, and in actively participating in the learning process both in and out of the classroom.
The University Registrar or their designee assigns each student an academic advisor in their intended field of study. Students who have not chosen a major are assigned advisors with experience and expertise in working with undecided students. All entering freshman or first-time students entering the University of Pikeville are assigned a Student Success advisor.
Each faculty member will have posted office hours to work with advisees and with students on their courses. Students who have questions about courses or academic programs should seek assistance from their Academic Advisor, their instructors, the University Registrar, or the appropriate academic Dean.
