| Q. |
How do I get help if I am having trouble in class? |
A.
|
You have three options:
1. For help with a paper or math assignment, visit our walk-in math and
writing clinics. No appointment is needed and help is available Monday
through Friday with daytime and evening hours.
Contacts: Trisha Graf (writing) and Deborah Jackson (math)
2. For help in a specific course, take advantage of our tutoring services. Upon
receiving your request for a tutor, we will match you up with a tutor so that the two of you can meet at a mutually convenient time.
3. If you are struggling with time management, stress, study skills, or test
taking, make an appointment with an academic counselor.

| Q. |
I am interested in the TRIO Supplemental grant. How do I know if I am eligible? |
| A. |
TRIO grant applications are available on-line or in Babcock Hall. Complete the application and submit it to the Academic Support Center. If you are TRIO-eligible, have received a Pell grant, have earned less than 60 credits, and use the Academic Support Center regularly, you are a good candidate for the grant. Applications are reviewed in October and February.
