CAMPUS RESOURCES FOR ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Everyone, at some point in college, feels challenged by a course. Luckily, there is a lot of
support available for those who look for it. Here are some steps you can take to find the help
you need.

The best place to seek help first is with your Professor of the course. Visit the
professor’s office hours (usually announced in the first class, published on the course
syllabus, and Blackboard), or schedule an appointment. Discuss your experience in the
course, how you are studying, and options for improving your understanding of the
material.

If the course has a teaching assistant (commonly referred to as the TA), that TA is
another good resource for help. Identify where and when you get help from the TA.

When you meet with your professor or TA go prepared with specific questions about
course content that you don’t understand.

Talk to other people in the course. Try to find a study partner or get a group of
students together to study on a regular basis.

Often students around campus offer tutoring on a private, fee basis. You can find
advertisements offering tutoring services. Look for postings in and around the
department of the course you’re seeking help in. (If you don’t know the location of the
office, you can find it on the UNH website).

You can post your own “tutor wanted” advertisement. Take your advertisement to
the department office and ask if there is a place you can post it. Also ask the
Administrator if they know of anyone in the major or in a graduate program in the
department who offers tutoring. If you hire a tutor, expect to pay around $10/hour for
the services of an undergraduate and $ 12-25/hour for tutoring from a graduate
student.

You may find it useful to Drop-In at CFAR room 207 to discuss study strategies with a
Peer Academic Mentor. Improve your time management, exam preparation,
organization, study skills, and more!
