We appreciate your interest in Academic Advising in the College of Health Professions. Academic Advising plays a key role in your educational experience here at Northern Kentucky University and in the College of Health Professions.

Academic Advising in the Northern Kentucky University College of Health Professions is an on-going, intentional educational partnership dedicated to the academic success of all students. The goal is to help students define and develop their own academic and career goals, understand the demands and expectations of NKU and make increasingly independent decisions toward their goals and toward graduation.

As Academic Advisors we believe:

• All students can be successful
• All students can be responsible for their own behavior
• Students have a desire to learn and want a meaningful and relevant education
• Students bring their own experiences, values, beliefs and opinions to the university and they are to be respected
• Students deserve dependable, accurate, respectful, honest, confidential and welcoming advising.

Academic Advising in the College of Health Professions is committed to:

• guide students to discover and pursue life goals
• support diverse and equitable educational, cultural and social experiences
• advance students’ individual development
• teach students to become engaged, self-directed, life-long learners and competent decision makers
