Academic Assistance

The Academic Assistance office has exactly that to offer - assistance with any and all Academic needs! We can assist in areas including (but not limited to):

  • Time Management
  • Organizational Skills
  • Setting Goals
  • Finding your Learning Style
  • Listening Skills
  • Note-taking
  • Test Preparation
  • Test Anxiety
  • Test Taking Strategies
  • Memory Strategies
  • Reading Strategies
  • General Study Skills

It is also through this office that professors can communicate their needs for a class tutor. We employ students recommended by the professor to tutor groups of students from a particular class at set times each week throughout the semester.

The Academic Assistance Coordinator is Stephen Sbanotto. His office is located in L151.
