Office hours are a great chance to build relationships with your professors and deepen your understanding of course material.

Tips for using office hours:

• Check the syllabus for times or email your professor to set one up. Some professors use Starfish, which is accessed through the Nest.

• Come with specific questions or topics

• Don't be shy! Professors want to help you and get to know you.

Whether you're reviewing for an exam, unsure about an assignment, or just want to show you're engaged, visiting office hours is one of the smartest moves you can make as a college student. 

If you had an IEP, 504 Plan, or other accommodations in high school, you can still receive support at SJU through the Office of Student Disability Services (SDS). SDS works with students with a wide range of disabilities to ensure equal access to academics, housing, and campus life.

• Visit the  SDS website to learn more!

• Contact Elizabeth Ashley , Assistant Director of Student Disability Services  - Lancaster at eashely@sju.edu

Remember: Accommodations are not retroactive, so it’s best to get started early!
