Academic Support - Helpful Services

BYU Home | Counseling and Career Center | Academic Support Home | Helpful Services

The university is rich in resources to help students become academically successful. The first key to accessing these resources is to clarify the issues that are limiting one's academic success; the second key is to take the initiative and to make the time to use these resources.

Below are two lists of resources. "List One" is based on the obstacles a student may have identified in the Academic Success Workbook; corresponding to each obstacle is a campus resource that may benefit the student. "List Two" represents other concerns or problems a student may be facing and the appropriate campus resource to address them.
