The department and university offer an array of academic support services for students.
Office Hours
Your instructor's office hours are the first way you should seek help if you are struggling in a class. Don't feel like you need a "good question" to approach your instructor. If you cannot make scheduled office hours all instructors will schedule alternate times by appointment, within reason.
Help Sessions
The department of mathematics and statistics provides drop-in tutoring to support all mathematics and statistics courses from elementary algebra to Calculus III. Help sessions are staffed by advanced mathematics students, and no appointments are necessary.
Fall 2023 Hours
Math help sessions will begin on August 28th and end December 8th.
Help sessions during the day are in Ritter 111. Fall hours are Monday through Thursday 1am-5pm, and Friday from 11am-2pm. Drop in, sign in, and say hello to a tutor.
Evening hours are Sunday and Thursday from 6-9pm via zoom. You will need to log in to Zoom with your SLU account.
(If the "Join" button does not work, try your MySLU zoom tool with the meeting ID 935-2860-8453 and passcode 524287.)
Note: Help sessions will not be held over Labor Day, Fall Break, or Thanksgiving Break.Student Success Center
