Learning Center Resources

If you’re having trouble in class, your professor or TA should always be your first point of contact. Remember, tutoring is a great resource, but it isn’t a quick fix. Take time to reflect on your study habits, and consider finding a study partner or joining a study group. If you’d like additional support, you can also schedule an appointment with an Academic Success Coach to work on underlying academic concerns.
