Stop Procrastinating & Maximize Your Productivity

In addition to attending a Study Skills Event, you can also sign up for a 1:1 Study Skills Appointment. During a study skills appointment, you will work with a staff member to identify and problem-solve concerns or questions on accountability, concentration and focus, motivation and procrastination, exam preparation, memorization, note-taking strategies, study methods, test-taking strategies, time management, and any other issues you would like to discuss.
Study Jams are offered every semester to help you prepare for exams. Stop by a study jam for assistance with test taking strategies, questions about course material, or to find a study space with peers in a small group setting.
Fall 2024 Study Jam dates will be available closer to the end of the semester!
