KU Student Success Navigators

At Kutztown University, Student Success Navigators are full-time staff members committed to guiding students through their academic journey. Each new student is assigned a Navigator upon submitting their deposit and can begin connecting with them starting one week before Orientation. Students can find their assigned Navigator in MyKU and Starfish.

The primary role of the Student Success Navigator is to provide personalized guidance, helping students transition to university life and connect with essential resources to enhance their academic experience. Academic advisors, who are faculty members within a student's major, are assigned at the start of the semester. Until then, students are encouraged to reach out to their Navigator for assistance. Navigators work closely with academic advisors to ensure students receive the support they need to succeed at Kutztown University.

The button below requires students to log into Starfish using their KU student email address and password after the Advanced Registration Deposit (ARD) is processed.
