So, you're through your first (and, possibly, second) round of exams and papers. Do you find that you're just not performing at the level that you think you should?

Whether you are struggling mightily with course material, or you are trying to maintain your 4.0 GPA, there are a number of places - in addition to your professors and TAs - where you can get some help!

The Learning Resources Center provides tutoring for 100- and 200-level courses not covered by Departmental Tutorial/Help Centers. They also coordinate the following academic assistance programs:

The Math Lab

The Writing Center

Supplemental Instruction

Several Departmental Tutorial/Help Centers also offer help to students:

Biology Tutorial Center

Chemistry Tutorial Center

Computer Science Help Center

Physics Tutorial Center

Student Support Services can provide academic assistance for students who meet some of the following criteria:

Have a documented disability that impacts access to learning

Be a first generation college student

Have low income that meets federal guidelines

Have a need for academic support

If you don't have a problem with any specific course, but you feel that you have an issue that affects your performance in general, check out University Counseling Services' "Skills 4 Success" workshop series. With topics like Time Management, Test Anxiety, and Procrastination, there's probably something there to help you cope!
