Overview
The Office of Academic Services offers a variety of resources that students can use in their journey towards achieving academic success. We help students enhance their learning and achieve academic success, and support faculty to implement best practices in teaching and learning.
Whether you are seeking tutoring, mentorship, ways to facilitate your transition to university, or academic accommodations, our team can provide you with the support that you need.
Support Resources
Economics Support
Looking for extra help with your problem set? Whether you are taking a core course or pursuing the International Economics major, our team is ready to help you. We also offer online video tutorials on key concepts.
Language Development
Learning a language requires lots of practice. We can support your learning by providing you with a tutor to practice with. We also organize activities such as conversation hours, debates, and events with faculty to help students develop their skills.
The Writing Center
Need help with your essay or just looking to improve your writing? Our dedicated Writing Center has expert tutors who are happy to guide you through any stage of the writing process, whether you bring a full draft or a rough list of ideas.
First-Year Experience
Make the most of your first year at university by participating in the First-Year Experience program. Build your academic and interpersonal skills, make friends, and learn about available resources in this fun series of activities and workshops aimed at making your first year a success.
Accessibility
We are committed to providing academic support for all students and working with faculty to ensure that all students can fully participate in everything our university has to offer. OAS provides academic accommodations for students with diagnosed disabilities, and based on recommendations from the Student Wellness and Counseling Center. For help please email the accommodations team.
Tutoring Appointments
All students can receive free tutoring in multiple subjects and join workshops on practical study skills. Work with a professional staff member or a fellow student who is a professionally trained peer tutor.
Student Employment Opportunities in OAS
If you would like to join our team and give back to the GU-Q community, we invite you to apply to be a peer tutor or an undergraduate teaching assistant through the Student Employment Program. We look for students who demonstrate advanced understanding in economics, languages, or writing, and who enjoy collaborating with their peers. Positions are posted in April for the following academic year.
