Spring 2016 Academic Support Resource List

Study Smarter Not Harder
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, or available on 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), identify
where and when you can get help from the TA. The TA is good resource for
help because they have usually taken the class and know the professor well.
 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 peer tutor, expect to
pay around $15-$30/hour for their services.
 For additional academic support you can meet with a CFAR professional staff
member Monday through Thursday 11:00am–3:00pm in Smith Hall, Room 201.
There are many other resources on campus for receiving help in a course, including
some free tutoring resources. On the back of this handout you’ll find a list of some
campus resources that are currently available for the semester.
