Academic Resources
Academic Advising is crucial to stay on track towards graduation. Your advisor is specific to major or the college your major is a part of. Example: Psychology is advised by the College of Arts and Sciences advising office. They can assist you with planning enrollment for next semester, creating a long-term enrollment plan, understanding important policies, and exploring areas of interest. You can find advising information, access your advising notes, and schedule with advisors across campus in Student Success Hub.
The Advising and Academic Support Center (AASC) is a great resource for students who want to schedule an appointment with an advisor. The AASC staff can assist students in developing educational plans that are compatible with their career and life goals. AASC offers academic skill building support and course specific tutoring through the Learning Assistant (LA) program. LAs are peers that provide academic support in traditionally difficult courses. Students that engage the support of LAs experience a higher rate of success and overall better grades. AASC also offers academic advising with the Academic Development and Recovery Team (ADR), for students who are struggling academically and also assist students that are on academic probation or need a hold to be removed from their account in order to be reinstated to Boise State.
The Educational Access Center (EAC) is a resource for students needing academic accommodations for temporary or permanent disabilities. If a student is unsure of whether they have a learning disability, the EAC maintains a list of qualified professionals who can work with the student to determine if they have a learning disability, at the students expense. Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis by meeting with a coordinator in their office. Documentation may be necessary to support the student’s need for accommodations.
The Writing Center offers free, guided support for all writers, in person and online, through active and collaborative conversations. They help writers of all levels and abilities, at any stage of the writing process. The Writing Center can also help students work on resumes, cover letters, graduate applications, personal statements, and much more.
English Language Support Programs is here to serve students who know other languages. Students can attend free weekly English tutoring sessions, get help finding classes and support on campus, and connect with other multilingual students.
The Math Learning Center (MLC) is a free service that offers assistance for math courses up to Math 175, with free in-person tutoring. The MLC focuses on improving student success along with the ability to build mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills.
Chemistry Instructional Center (CIC) is a place where all students taking general and organic chemistry courses at Boise State can receive guidance on their chemistry lecture and laboratory assignments.
Biology Learning Center (BLC) is a place where all students taking undergraduate biology courses can work collaboratively. It can be a great place to study, get support from undergraduate tutors and instructors, and get to know other students.
Geoscience Learning Hub is a dedicated study and tutoring space for students in GEOL, GEOS, and GEOG courses, staffed by graduate teaching assistants and faculty for office hours and tutoring.
