What Do I Do If I Need Help?
Whom should I see if I need academic support?
Timothy Rogers, Associate Director of Disability Services

If you know you have a disability, contact him immediately in order to fill out the appropriate paperwork.
You will be eligible for reasonable accommodations (as applicable) in your classes once this paperwork is
complete. For more information, visit the Center for Academic
Achievement.
What if I'm having a problem in a course?
If you find yourself struggling in a course, be sure to communicate your difficulties to the professor and/or your advisor. If you need additional assistance, you can make an appointment to visit Assistant Dean Em Claire Knowles. If you are afraid that you will not be able to complete your coursework, discuss the issue with your professor and ask about submitting an Incomplete Form (RTF). If approved, the incomplete will allow you a limited extension in which to finish your assignments. As long as you complete your assignments by deadline, the incomplete will not affect your grade.
Are there student liaisons I can contact?
LISSA Officers and the leaders of the various student groups are good resources to contact if you have any questions. For information about them, visit the Student Organizations page. The New Student Community is also full of helpful information for new students.
