August and September: Start Strong

Early in the semester is a great time to take steps that will set you up for success later on. Whether it's developing new study techniques, getting help setting and achieving goals, or receiving additional support for complex challenges, there's a free campus resource to help.

Academic Tools at Your Fingertips

Some students benefit from additional academic support. Start by connecting with academic coaching, tutoring services, and by downloading Navigate.

Then, consider these services to help you reach your goals:

  • Comprehensive Academic Support

    Students who are first-generation, income-limited, and/or have a documented disability may be eligible to participate in TRIO Educational Supportive Services (ESS). TRIO ESS provides additional academic support, including tutoring, financial literacy support, and graduate or career preparation, to 300 students each year. Learn more and apply

  • Learn More About Majors

    If you have questions about changing majors, or want to learn more about what major might be a good fit for you, connect with an exploratory advisor. Connect with Exploratory Studies

  • Make Progress Toward Your Professional School Application

    Students with a pre-law, pre-health, or pre-vet designation are assigned a pre-professional advisor, in addition to their academic advisor. Make plans to meet with your pre-professional advisor to make sure you're on track. And, if you think adding a pre-professional designation is the right fit for you, reach out to the office with questions. Visit the Pre-Professional and Exploratory Advising Center
