Chemistry Advising

The Chemistry Department is ready to help with all your advising needs!

During the advising period you should make an appointment with your academic advisor to obtain your RAC number and register for courses.

Please find your advisor by going to Degree Works in myEKU. Your academic advisor will be listed on the right hand portion of the screen as well as your declared major. If you plan to change majors, please fill out the proper form with the University Registrar. You must meet with your advisor in the Fall and Spring semesters to obtain your RAC number in order to register for courses the following semester. Below is a list of the academic advisors for the Chemistry Department (this advisor list can also be downloaded).
