Academic Advisors


The College of Justice, Safety, and Military Science advising team uses a scheduling system to schedule appointments. Admitted students can find their advisor in their Slate portal, and use the appropriate link to schedule an appointment.

If you are not currently a justice and safety major, you can schedule with any advisor that is listed and they will be able to help you with enrolling or changing your major and course suggestions.

During the summer months, please email jsadvising@eku.edu for any advising questions. Individual advisor calendars will open again in the fall.
