Advising & Tutoring

Chemistry Student Abby Pepin with Cynthia Dowd

Balancing a chemistry course load along with the rest of your responsibilities can be challenging, but we are here to help. Whether the issue is personal, academic or related to career plans and opportunities, talking to your academic advisor is a good place to start.

We also offer tutoring options to chemistry students, in addition to university student services like the Academic Commons.
