The demands of classes and departments have increased over the years. In light of this fact, SSD is committed to helping students towards a timely graduation. We also understand that some students may require, as a reasonable accommodation, a reduced course load. SSD welcomes the opportunity, along with the advisement centers and other departments on campus, to discuss schedules with the student. Also, many of the general education classes offer labs where students can receive help free of charge from teaching assistants.
Some departments also organize tutoring services.
These tutors charge a fee, which is set by the tutor. The student requiring the tutoring pays for this service. Staff offer help and guidance on scheduling classes, a student's academic standing, assessment, information, and counseling. Information is available concerning study skills courses, workshops, deciding a major, and choosing a career. Staff offer help and guidance with registration, scheduling, clarification on general education and university requirements, and choosing a major.
