The Academic Success Office equips students with tools to help them formulate plans,
improve study habits, manage their time, establish priorities, and communicate with
faculty, staff and their peers more effectively.
When you are struggling in a class, in all cases, the first thing you should do is
sit down with the professor teaching that class. To find your professor's office and
a list of office hours, check your syllabus. If you have misplaced your syllabus or
the class has not yet started, click here, on the employee directory, to find your professor's office, phone number, and e-mail. We'd recommend finding
all your professors' offices before classes begin.
After you've connected with your professors, please also reach out to our office for
additional support.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are resources only offered online? Are any resources offered on-ground?
- Resources are offered both online and on-ground. In order to accommodate online-only
students, all resources will be accessible (to varying degrees) online. Additionally,
some resources may not be as easily accessible on-ground as in the past. Our focus
is making our services accessible to all students, no matter their situation. If you
are having any difficulty accessing resources, contact us today!
- Is Peer Tutoring online or on-ground?
- For the six subjects connected to the Tutoring Center (Economics, History, Philosophy,
Politics, Psychology, Theology), tutoring will be offered primarily on-ground, though
students may specifically request an online session via an email to the tutor.
- For schedules and locations for these and other subjects, check the Tutoring schedule
to see what hours they offer and if they are online or on-ground. When in doubt, email
Ms. Ana Henriquez at sahenriquez@volamdolong.com.
