Drop-In Supports (A238)

Math and Science Drop-In 

Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00 am - 11:00 am (A238)

Working through a problem or studying for a test? Drop in for support with clarifying concepts, calculations, or course material.

Use A238 as a quiet space to work on math and science assignments, with a Student Learning Coordinator nearby if you have a question.

No question is too small. Come as you are, whether you need clarification or just want reassurance you’re on the right track.


Writing Wednesdays Drop-In 

Wednesdays from 9:00 am - 11:00 am (A238)

Bring any writing project, whether its essays, reports, or reflections, at any stage of the process. Get feedback on ideas, structure, and strengthening your draft.

A238 is open as a writing space, so you can focus on your work and ask for support whenever you need it.

Writing Wednesdays are about building skills and confidence, not just fixing papers. Every visit helps strengthen your writing long-term.


Academic Skills Drop-In 

Thursdays from 9:00 am - 11:00 am (A238)

Struggling with time management, studying, or keeping up with coursework? Stop in to develop strategies tailored to your needs.

Drop-in is a chance to reset, plan ahead, and leave with tools that make academic life feel more manageable.
