Advising and Tutorial Assistance

The University has established a multi-level approach to offer to students in support of their academic and personal needs. Staff and faculty members on each campus are available to assist students in academic guidance. The Academic Department is primarily responsible for addressing students’ academic concerns while the Student Services Department is primarily responsible for other areas of concern related to successful program completion and may provide referral services to external agencies as necessary.

Students who experience difficulty in their coursework and have a need for academic support should first contact the appropriate academic administrator for the program of study to create an individualized academic success plan. Many faculty offer tutoring for their courses. The University will try to accommodate students’ schedules in determining tutoring sessions, but students should realize that they may need to adjust their schedules to receive the kind of remedial or tutoring support required. Students may also contact the campus Student Success Coordinator to engage in further discussions about how to address academic improvement concerns.
