Tutoring at AU

Students should seek help after they have reviewed a chapter, done problems, reviewed their notes and still find themselves stuck or struggling with a certain subject.

Speaking with the professor is often the best place to start. At Augustana University, students form ongoing relationships with professors during office hours, co-curricular activities, academic advising and research.

The Student Success Center and Writing Center can also connect students with peer and department-specific tutors.
