Resources for Academic Support

At Purdue, we want our students to be successful as they prepare for their next giant leap. The university has a wide-variety of academic support services to help students build study skills, gain a stronger understanding of topics, receive peer-led coaching, and more.

• Academic Advisors

  All students have an advisor within their academic college and students who are considering professional fields (medicine, law, etc.) also have access to the Pre-Professional Advising Office to help them prepare for admission to and success in professional schools.

• Academic Success Center

  The Academic Success Center offers free services including videos, handouts, workshops, and one-on-one support.

• Supplemental Instruction

  Peer-assisted study sessions ensure that students in historically difficult, foundational courses have resources to help when they need them. Learn about Supplemental Instruction at Purdue.

• Science, Math, Physics, and Chemistry Help Rooms

  Open during regularly scheduled hours and staffed by upper-class and graduate students, help rooms offer free assistance in the respective subject areas: science help, math resource room, physics help center, and chemistry resource room.
