Academic Support
In This Section
Your academic support network begins with your academic advisor. Every student is assigned an academic advisor in their college upon enrollment. Your academic advisor is a professional who can help you from your very first day at RU–N until graduation. You may have additional advisors at the university, including advisors from your major academic department, your minor academic department, or a specialized program. If you participate in programs like the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), the Honors Living Learning Community (HLLC), or the Honors College, you will also have access to advisors in those programs. You should make an appointment to meet with your advisor any time you need help.
The university also provides tutoring services through the Learning Center and the Writing Center. These offices can assist you if you need help with a particular course, or if you want to improve more general skills like writing or test preparation.
