Academic resources are any out-of-class supports and services that are used to enhance your success. It is a myth that academic resources are only used when students are struggling in their academic work. Writing support and tutoring services can be used by anyone at any point in the semester or academic career! Academic resources are an essential complement to the learning you'll do in the classroom and professors expect that students independently seek out and use all resources available to them to successfully complete their work.

Tutoring Services - At Hamline, individual and group tutoring services are free! Schedule a tutoring appointment for help understanding course material and work with subject-specific, qualified peer tutors. Create your own study group and work together to prepare for quizzes and exams. Study groups can come anytime to use the spacious group collaboration area, computer lab, or individual focus cubicles at CASA.
Faculty Office Hours - Faculty members teaching courses are expected to provide weekly office hours. This is time set aside in the professor's schedule to provide 1-on-1 support or host small group meetings to talk about anything related to the course and your studies at Hamline. Use office hours to better understand the professor's expectations, receive feedback, ask questions regarding assignments and tests, or learn more about possible majors and careers in the field.
