University Student Resources

Whether you are a first-time student or returning to campus to finish up your degree, college life presents a unique set of challenges that can be hard to navigate alone. Few are immune to the rigors of time management difficulties, financial stress and incessant deadlines. Just about every university has vast resources available for students that are helpful as they complete their degree.
  1. Online

    • Many websites on the internet provide an ample amount of reference material for your studies. Even if the class guidelines prohibit you from using a web source, your computer is a good place to at least start looking. Sites such as www.educhoices.org offer quick access to reliable sites such as Questia, InfoPlease and the Internet Public Library.

    Counseling

    • The stress of college life and the personal adjustments that you make during this time can take its toll, so it is not uncommon if you feel the need for a healthy outlet to vent. Many universities offer free counseling services for students. The staff are typically psychology professionals or psychology students completing their graduate work, and are very professional, adhering to the same principled guidelines that a normal doctor's office would.

    Career Help

    • University career development centers are a great way to get an inside track on mapping out your future job. The degree that you will be earning isn't enough by itself if you are unfamiliar with where and how to look or network. Services offered in such centers include career advice, seminars and specialized job fairs where you can talk, ask questions and make contacts with those in your future field.

    Academic Services

    • A campus learning center is a multifaceted resource that can help you with all things pertaining to academia. Tutoring is available for specific subjects and classes, but there are also services to aid you with a variety of broad problems, from assistance with study habits to honing your time management skills. Also, students with disabilities can find help here. Some universities have all of this in one building; others have it spread out through campus. Check your college's site online to see where you need to go to get started.
