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
  • Final Exam Schedule

Weekend Terms

All weekend terms encompass Fri/Sat/Sun. Some weekend term classes meet Friday and Saturday only, others may meet Saturday and Sunday only. Regardless of when a specific class meets the Friday of any weekend term is the last day to ADD/DROP a class offered in that term. The Saturday of any weekend term is the last day to WITHDRAW from a class offered in that term. Because of the compressed nature of a weekend term there is no “Mid-Term” and no Mid-Term Grade should be expected by any student.
