Learning Resources
There are a number of additional services and resources to assist you in obtaining the academic assistance you may need. Take advantage of all of the resources at your disposal - reach out for advice and support.
Academic Integrity
What is Academic Integrity? Fundamental to the academic work you do at MIT is an expectation that you will make choices that reflect integrity and responsible behavior.
MIT will ask much of you. Occasionally, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of work you need to accomplish. You may be short of time, working on several assignments due the same day, or preparing for qualifying exams or your thesis presentation. The pressure can be intense. On the Working Under Pressure page, we suggest resources to help you manage your workload and prevent yourself from becoming overwhelmed. However, no matter what level of stress you may find yourself under, MIT expects you to approach your work with honesty and integrity.
More information can be found in the Handbook for Academic Integrity at MIT.

MIT Undergraduate Association (UA) Resources
The Undergraduate Association has compiled a flow chart to help all students, but particularly first-year students, navigate academic stress. The flow chart provides advice and resources for many possible scenarios you may encounter, but may not be fully exhaustive. When in doubt, check your class syllabi for subject-specific guidance.
Please reach out for support whenever you need it. The MIT Undergraduate Association has created this Support Services document.
