We have developed a variety of different academic support resources to support your learning and success. Take the time to explore the different asynchronous resources we have created. These resources include videos, presentations, worksheets/templates, and online learning modules. We continue to develop new resources and revise existing ones on an ongoing basis. If you don't find what you're looking for, please continue to check back with us or book an appointment.
Have you gone through our resources and are still looking for support, clarity, or feedback? Are you not finding a resource aligned to your question? Use 20-min "Quick Connect" appointments with our Student Learning Coordinators to stay on track, or book a 1-hour appointment for more in-depth support.
