Academic Ombud

A neutral, independent and confidential resource for students and faculty.

The University of Kentucky Academic Ombud provides an independent confidential space for students and faculty to receive advice and guidance regarding any academic issue.  The Academic Ombud staff help resolve conflicts by thinking creatively about solutions, empowers students with the tools to solve problems, and mediates between faculty and students to facilitate respectful communication.  The Academic Ombud's services are open to all members of the UK academic community.

Professional, graduate and undergraduate students, as well as faculty, contact the Academic Ombud with a variety of questions and concerns.  Faculty inquiries often involve how the Administrative Regulations relate to an instructor's particular course.

Inquiries are held in confidence.
