Academic Advising
You will start your program with an individualized program checklist to use as a self-advising guide. However, checking in with your advisor periodically is a good idea to ensure you are staying on track to degree completion. If you have a question about where a class you would like to take fits into your degree requirements, the recommended sequencing of classes or if you are struggling with a class, contact your advisor about your options and available resources.
Learning Support Services
As a Continuing Studies student, you have access to a variety of learning resources, many of which are free. The Library and the Math and Writing Centers all have evening and weekend hours with professional staff available to assist you. Peer tutors are available for different subjects typically during the day. Academic coaches, a fee-based service, can provide you with extra strategies and support.
