Additional Academic Resources

Ways We are READY to Help

Your student fees and tuition make these resources and services possible. You've already paid for them, so please utilize them!

Student Academic Support Courses
USU has created courses to provide additional support. Nearly all of these classes are only one credit and are taken the second half of the semester. Introductory courses provide a broad introduction to collegiate-level learning while the Habits of Mind courses are designed to provide a deeper dive into specific competencies, such as planning, learning, reading, and resilience.

College Writing

A critical aspect of success in college is the ability to communicate what students are studying and learning. Everyone needs to improve their written communication skills, which is why USU offers a variety of free resources and supports to all students wherever they are.

Tutoring

USU offers a variety of tutoring options for all students, most of which are free or low-cost. Remember, in college, students who want to succeed are also the students who seek out and utilize the help provided.

Student Support Services
Student Support Services (SSS) is a federally funded TRIO program designed to provide specific activities and services for undergraduate students. Services include specific sections of some courses, advising, and community. Students must apply.

Supplemental Instruction
Many general education courses have a Supplemental Instruction (SI) leader who attends each class and provides study sessions to assists students with grasping concepts and skills taught in class. Students who regularly attend SI study sessions with their leader generally perform better on exams and assignments.
