Academic Assistance Center

The University of Pikeville provides academic assistance to all students enrolled in coursework at the university. The Academic Assistance Center is staffed with current students who have excelled in their academic courses at the university and are equipped with the knowledge and skills to assist with college level writing/composition as well as courses in their particular majors. The Academic Assistance Center is committed to the success of every University of Pikeville student. All students employed as academic assistants take part in scheduled training sessions and impromptu meetings designed to guarantee successful assistance sessions. There is no fee for University students who take advantage of this service.

 

The Academic Assistance Center is located in Allara Library, room 016 and operates on a drop-in or scheduled basis. The location of the center in the library allows easy access to the extensive support services of the library as well as individual, personalized assistance. The center has assistants available daily, Monday through Thursday, as allowed by individual course schedules, and from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. Each semester, a schedule is posted on campus bulletin boards, on Facebook under Academic Assistance Program and on the Academic Assistance link of the library website to provide students with detailed days and times when there is available assistance for specific courses or areas of study. This schedule is also provided to the faculty, athletic coaches and Student Services personnel. 

 

Off-campus students may contact the center via phone, email, SKYPE or the library link on the University website.
