The Academic Ombud helps resolve academic disputes between students and faculty or administration. When students are unable to resolve grievances or complaints through usual means, the Ombud may be able to expedite the process or advise the student about the proper procedures to follow. The Ombud determines whether a student’s case has sufficient merit to warrant an appeal to the College Appeals Board. Problems include, but are not limited to violation of students’ academic rights, unfair teaching and grading practices, cheating and plagiarism, and discrimination and harassment. All cases are held in strict confidence. For the location of the Ombud’s office contact Academic Affairs at (859) 246-6271.

Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC) will provide a service to veterans by employing a part-time Veterans Resource Coordinator and establishing an office dedicated to working with veterans in 2010. As a result of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and of the increased educational benefits available to service members, the number of veterans and active military attending post-secondary education has increased significantly in recent years. In response to this need, BCTC will offer the opportunity to veterans, those still serving in the active reserves, and those serving in National Guard components of the armed forces to enroll into higher education to enhance their job prospects, achieve career goals, expand their knowledge and skill sets for both personal and career enrichment, and facilitate their transition into civilian life.
The BCTC Veterans Resource Center will serve as the primary point of contact for current and prospective veteran students and their families by conducting target recruitment of military veterans and personnel and offering specialized counseling and support groups that include referrals to community resources. Some common services offered will include financial aid, tuition assistance, counseling, employment assistance, academic advising, various campus events and career services. BCTC will also offer separate veterans orientation and establish a student veterans club.
