Academic Resources - Part 2
As you start to settle into a routine for the semester, now is a great time to make visiting campus resources a part of your weekly routine. Here are a few of the many resources offered across campus:
- Check out resources to refine your approach to learning – make sure you are working smarter rather than just harder. This may mean developing new strategies for studying and learning, working with others to strengthen your content knowledge, or building up your skills.
- Visit a Resource Room- Provided for a variety of subjects and courses (mostly 100/200 level). Click to explore the resource rooms available.
- Try the ASC's course-connected support for peer-led sessions that cover content from challenging courses in an interactive and engaging way.
- Check out a workshop offered by the ASC. Workshops cover many different topics related to developing your study skills and learning strategies, including late night study events.
- Connect with someone who can support you and your growth. Your network is an important part of your success- having others who can encourage you, challenge you, hold you accountable to your goals, answer questions, and cheer you on. Whether you talk with a friend, roommate, advisor, or instructor, reach out to someone this weekend to schedule a time to connect.
- Not sure who you could connect with? Consider these resources that students have found beneficial:

- Join an Accountability Group
- Meet with a Peer Success Coach. Learn more about meeting with a PSC in West Lafayette OR Learn more about meeting with a PSC in Indianapolis
- Look up your Faculty & TA office hours or introduce yourself after class
- Schedule a time to meet with a study skills consultant.
- Try out some of the Steps to Leaps Learning modules that you can add on Brightspace.
- Not sure who you could connect with? Consider these resources that students have found beneficial:
- Remember that the semester is a marathon- not a sprint. Plan for some down time to recharge. Make sure you keep your entire wellness, growth, and success in mind – not just your academics. Even during busy weeks with lots tests and deadlines, make sure you include some stress management and self-care activities. The Wellness Suite has many great resources you can explore.
And these are just a few of the many resources available to you across campus. Remember that the first step is knowing a resource and support exists; the second (and probably more important) step is actually utilizing the resource, especially using it before you need it.
