The Academic Success Center is a helpful resource that Purdue University Global students can utilize when in need of assistance with the following topics:
Writing Math Technology Science Business
You will find the Academic Success Center on Purdue Global Campus under My Studies > Academic Success Center. You can submit a paper, connect with a tutor, download Purdue Global’s Guide to Successful Writing, or watch helpful webinars on APA citation, math study sessions, reading strategies, time management, and much more. You can attend live webinar sessions or watch an archived session.
Outside Assistance
The use of academic assistance outside of Purdue Global is highly discouraged. Outside websites that offer tutoring, academic help, sample essays or even paper review services, are often misleading and can be predatory. Using material from these sites is a violation of the PG Code of Student Conduct and can result in academic consequences.
If a site requests that you upload documents, whether your own assignments or classroom content, this should be considered a red flag. Sites that require you to pay for writing or tutoring services should be avoided. Instead use Purdue Global’s Academic Success Center - your tuition gives you free access to these tutoring and paper review services.
See your classroom Announcements for more details.
Coursework Resubmission
When resubmitting or repurposing a previously submitted assignment, you must notify the instructor prior to submission and cite the original date of submission on the work itself. It is your responsibility to ensure that the previously submitted course materials meet current course requirements.
See the Coursework Resubmission Policy in the Student Conduct section of the University Catalog for additional details.
Also within the Academic Success Center, Purdue Global offers an opportunity for students to attend an upcoming webinar or view a recent recording. To view the Academic Success Center webinar calendar from Purdue Global Campus, go to My Studies > Academic Success Center > Webinar Calendar.
We know that APA can be confusing for some students, but don’t worry, we can help. The Purdue Global Library has a tool called Academic Writer (formerly APA Style Central®). Academic Writer is designed by the APA to help users develop their writing and professional research skills. It features full integration of APA’s Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association to answer all of your tough questions regarding APA rules and guidelines. For more information, see Library.PurdueGlobal.edu/Library/AcademicWriter.
The Purdue Global Library offers a wealth of information for students in need of research. Though it may seem a little overwhelming at first, there are training resources within to help guide you through the library and its multitude of resources. To access the Purdue Global Library, see Library.PurdueGlobal.edu. From there, visit the support section to find support resources like videos, tutorials, searchable support documentation, guides, and links to contact PG’s professional library staff for assistance.
