Utilizing and maximizing campus resources

Anyone can use some help 

Utilizing support services in college is essential for students to achieve their full potential and navigate the complexities of higher education. Services like academic advising, tutoring, coaching, disability services, mental health and wellness, and others, provide personalized assistance that addresses students' unique needs. These resources help you overcome academic challenges, develop effective study strategies, maintain mental and emotional well-being, and/or get back on track during unexpected challenges and situations. 

Ten Tips to Maximize Campus Resources

• Set Clear Goals: Define specific academic goals and communicate them with advisors and tutors to receive targeted support. 

• Be Proactive: Seek help as soon as you encounter difficulties rather than waiting until the situation becomes critical.
