Advising

Office

The English Department Advising Office in Patterson Office Tower 1225/27/29 is a center for information and guidance on undergraduate degree programs and post-graduation planning. The Advising Office serves not only English and Linguistics majors, but also those students working on a minor in English or Linguistics, those seeking Teacher Certification in English, those working on Topical Majors in which English is prominent, and students from any area of the University seeking information or advice on English Department courses. (Inquiries about freshman writing courses should be directed to the Writing Program Office, P.O.T. 1221.)

Registration

The English Advising Office will be open from 8:30-12 and 1-4:30 throughout the priority registration period. Later appointments can be arranged. Because of the demands made upon the office during this period, appointments are required. If you are an English or Linguistics major, you may make an appointment online here: http://www.as.uky.edu/Admin/Students/student_advising.aspx, or you may contact your advisor directly.  The Department advisors are Nayasha Walker Farrior and Lisa Schroot-Mitchum.  If you have any questions, please contact Staff Associate Andy Johnson in P.O.T. 1227 (phone: 257-3763). Students are strongly encouraged to see the advisor as early as possible, preferably a week before their registration time. Seniors should make appointments for the week before priority registration.

Students who have reason to think that their scheduling is going to present special problems, or whose educational objectives are not clear, or who have complex questions about degree requirements, or who have not yet reviewed their degree program with the English Department advisor, should come to the Advising Office during the week prior to Advance Registration.
