A Guide to Tutoring and
Academic Success Resources and Services
The University is committed to academic excellence, and provides a variety of tutoring and other academic resources to support student success. This site guides students to services available on campus, from our peer institutions, and other non-university websites. Students are always encouraged to seek out assistance early in the semester. In addition to utilizing these tutoring services and academic success resources, students should consult their academic department for more resources in their major courses. The Undergraduate Catalog provides contact information for your major department (search by college/school) and a directory of all student resources and services.
