The Center for Academic Support includes Academic Advising, First-Year Programs and Tutoring and Learning Programs. We provide resources to students that focus on their individual needs, with an emphasis on social, personal and academic success.

We offer comprehensive and individualized support services in professional academic advising and peer tutoring. Our professional advisors can assist you with degree planning, course registration, campus resources, academic success strategies, homesickness, roommate challenges and understanding university policies and procedures.
