CARES Mission

CARES will provide a comprehensive academic support system as well as enrichment services to aid in increasing the retention and graduation rates of underrepresented students. Programs and activities assist students in achieving academic excellence and adjusting to student life at the University of Kentucky.

CARES Services

Academic Planning
A counselor will assist you in choosing a major, planning your semester schedule, monitoring your academic progress, researching graduate/professional programs and identifying intern, co-op and permanent job opportunities.

Free Tutoring
For extra help in a class, CARES can provide an individual tutor, a study group facilitator, or information about tutoring offered by other departments.

Study Skills
If you need to take better notes, manage your study time more effectively, or improve your test taking skills, CARES can help.

Help with Personal Issues
We offer a friendly ear and good advice when personal problems get in the way of studying and making good grades. If we cannot help, we will direct you to someone else who can assist you.

Computer Lab
The computer lab is equipped with computers for use with research papers, blackboard assignments, statistics homework and more.
