Other Tutoring on Campus

In addition to the Logic, Math, and Writing Centers, there is tutoring available for other subjects on campus at the University of San Diego.   If you do not see the subject you need help with listed below, contact the academic department and ask if tutoring is available.  Also keep in mind that visiting your professors during office hours is a great opportunity to get your questions answered for any class.  Small classes at USD give you the benefit of having greater access to your professors; take advantage of that and visit them during their office hours.  Professors typically list their office hours on the syllabus, and typically will make individual appointments with students if you aren't able to make their office hours; just ask.
