Getting Started with Campus Resources
Starting college is exciting—but let’s be honest, it can also feel a little overwhelming. From navigating your schedule to figuring out how to tackle assignments, it’s easy to wonder where to even begin. Here’s the good news: you’re not alone! At Le Moyne, we’re all about setting you up for success, and we’ve got the tools to make sure you’re supported every step of the way.
Let’s break down some of the amazing campus resources you can take advantage of—and how they’ll help you thrive.
Ready to Get Started?
The Writing Center: Your Go-To for Acing Assignments
Whether you’re brainstorming your first essay or perfecting a final draft, the Writing Center is here to help. If you prefer to talk in-person, you can sit down with a peer tutor who understands your challenges and knows how to guide you. For those who can’t make it to campus, online sessions provide a convenient way to connect with a tutor virtually. And when you're on a tight deadline, you can upload your paper and receive detailed feedback from a tutor without needing to be there in person—perfect for those last-minute crunch-time moments! The best part? It’s all free.
The Student Success Center: Your Personal Academic Compass
The Student Success Center is like your academic GPS, guiding you through challenges and decisions. Struggling in a tough class? Unsure about choosing a major? They’re here to help. Whether you need tutoring in subjects like biology, history, or foreign languages, or want to explore potential majors that match your interests and goals, you’ll find the support you need. Their academic coaching services can also teach you strategies for managing time, preparing for exams, and reducing stress. Pro tip: Don’t wait until midterms!
The Quantitative Reasoning Center (QRC): Conquering Math and Beyond
Let’s face it—math-heavy subjects like calculus, chemistry, or statistics can be challenging. That’s where the QRC steps in to help. They provide tutoring sessions, both in-person and online, to tackle even the trickiest equations. Their workshops and clinics offer quick solutions to tough homework problems, no appointment needed. Plus, they’ll teach you effective learning strategies for STEM classes—spoiler alert: cramming isn’t the answer.
Office Hours: The Secret Sauce to Success
Here’s an insider tip: your professors are genuinely invested in your success, and office hours are the perfect opportunity to connect. Use this time to ask questions about course material, get valuable feedback on assignments or projects, and explore career paths and opportunities in your field. Building a relationship with your professors can make a big difference—it might even lead to internships, research opportunities, or strong recommendations in the future.
The Registrar’s Office: Your Academic Toolbox
Scheduling your classes? Transferring credits? Checking graduation requirements? The registrar’s team is your go-to. They’re the experts who’ll help keep your academic journey on track. If you’re unsure about your schedule or have questions about transcripts, don’t hesitate to reach out—they’re friendly, helpful, and here to make things easy for you.
