Dear Boilermaker,
Most students need more support in college than they did in past education experiences. In fact, seeking help is a normal, necessary part of the college experience! Don’t hesitate to ask questions and take advantage of the resources available to you, especially early on in the semester. You won't believe the difference it can make!
There are countless opportunities at Purdue dedicated to helping you achieve your goals – we've highlighted a few below to help you get started:
Academic Success Center The Helen Bass Williams Academic Success Center (ASC), located in Wiley Hall, Room C215, provides a variety of academic support services for undergrads at Purdue. Whether you're looking for one-on-one support, extra help for tough courses, or strategies to boost your study skills, visiting the ASC website is a great place to start!
Purdue On-Campus Writing Lab Trained tutors are available to assist you with any writing project, at any stage of the writing process. The Writing Lab also offer services specifically for students studying English as a Second Language, students working on employment or Professional Writing documents, and students in English 106 and 108.

Office of the Dean of Students Purdue's Office of the Dean of Students (ODOS) serves as a referral source for students regarding academic, personal, or financial concerns.
