Colonel’s Compass

University Calendar for Important Dates & Deadlines

Two important calendars play a role in your EKU registration. As an EKU student, you must meet with your advisor to discuss schedule and for registration access code needed to register for the upcoming term. Advising dates and registration windows are available in the Colonel’s Compass. Referencing this schedule will help you be aware of when you can expect to make an appointment with your advisor and the earliest point at which you can make your schedule for the upcoming term.

The Colonel’s Compass is your resource for:

  • Registering for Classes
  • Deadlines to Add, Drop, or Withdraw from Class
