At the University of Kentucky, we care about our students and every Wildcat is an important part of the Big Blue Nation. We’ve designed this page so that you can easily access the information you need to support your Wildcat on their academic and personal journey. Below are some recommended tasks for your student to help them finish the semester strong. Use the links below to learn about free resources for academic, wellness, and financial support!

Practice healthy behaviors.
We encourage our students to use campus wellness resources to sleep better, control anxiety, and manage stress. Wildcat wellbeing is important and we have free resources available to help students take care of themselves. WellKentucky is a great resource to learn more and schedule appointments with campus offices here to provide wellness support.
Use the free tutoring and coaching resources.
We want our Wildcats to be successful in their classes. Now is the time for students to connect with a tutor to prepare for midterms. Use the link below to check for available tutoring for classes.
Check their UKY email daily.
We use your students’ UKY email to share important information with them, so it’s important for them to check it daily. This is how we’ll send important information about classes, advising, finances, and involvement opportunities. We encourage students to set a reminder on their phone to log in at least once a day so that they don’t miss out.
Students can go to office365.uky.edu to access their UKY email
Get involved on campus.
We want our Wildcats to find their place in our UK Community. We have resources to help them attend events both virtually and on-campus to meet other Wildcats. Is your student not sure where to start? That’s okay! Involvement Advisors are students and can help your students begin their involvement journey.
Learn About Involvement Advising
Connect with advising.
Students need to schedule an advising appointment to make planes for registration for summer and fall 2021 classes. We encourage students to schedule their appointment as soon as possible so that they are ready to enroll in courses when their registration window opens.

Wildcats need to keep track of registration holds, which are placed if students have tasks to complete, like meeting with an advisor or has a past due balance. Holds will need to be resolved before students can register for classes. If your student has a financial hold, make sure you connect with the resources listed below.
