Academic Skills

As a member of Student Support Services, you can take advantage of the Academic Skills component to improve what you do both in and out of the classroom. We utilize various assessments to determine your personal strengths and challenges as a student. Academic Skills specialists are on hand to interpret assessment results and work one-on-one with you to develop skills and produce effective results.

Many students seek advice and assistance with:

• Budgeting their time
• Improving note taking skills
• Increasing reading comprehension
• Developing more effective study techniques for all types of course material
• Preparing for tests and overcoming test anxiety
• Developing writing skills and research proficiency
• Preparing for graduate/professional school applications and tests
