5 Things All College Students Need to Know: Academic Resources

1. Tutoring

UMBC's Academic Success Center offers free tutoring for all first and second level courses in most subjects. Tutoring is an appointment you make to study and practice with a small group of peers and a trained tutor who has succeeded in the class previously.

2. SI PASS

SI PASS (Supplemental Instruction/Peer-Assisted Study Sessions) in traditionally difficult courses. These regularly scheduled, out-of-class review sessions help you engage with course material, compare lecture notes, discuss readings, develop organizational tools and predict test items.

3. Writing Center

Writing Center Tutors can help you on any writing assignment for any class, at any stage of the writing process (outlining, rough drafts, final drafts). This is not an editing service, so make your appointment well before your assignment is due to implement suggestions.

4. Online Resources
Videos and guides available to help you succeed in online learning, including:

Organization

Time management

Study skills

Working with instructors and other students
