Student Support Services
|
From deans and masters to peer tutors to established service offices, Yale has built a robust system of support and advice for undergraduates. Each residential college has its own team of tutors, including a Tutor-in-Writing who is available to work with students at various levels of writing ability and at different stages in the writing process and a math/science tutor who assists students with problems they may encounter in mathematics, natural science, or engineering courses. Students may also receive help in other academic subjects through a tutoring program administered by the Yale College Dean's Office. Any student who encounters difficulty in a course at any point in his or her undergraduate career may apply for a tutor in that subject through the residential college dean. To assist undergraduates with their decision making, Yale has established an effective and responsive network of individuals dedicated to providing guidance and support. After freshman year, students choose their own faculty advisers according to personal preference or area of interest. The director of undergraduate studies in each department is available to advise prospective majors on course selection. And the dean of each residential college keeps abreast of students' academic progress throughout their undergraduate careers. The deans assist students who are considering acceleration, study abroad, or leaves of absence, and offer advice on a wide range of academic and personal matters. |
