Academic Support Program

The Academic Support Program offers services to students who want extra support in their academic life.  We have Graduate Assistants available for one-on-one tutoring, as well as workshops throughout the semester tailored to refining your academic skills for success.  If you need assistance or would like to learn more about the program ask your advisor how to get involved.
