Tutoring Support
The Center for Academic Success provides tutoring support to Alfred University students in a wide variety of disciplines. Tutors are typically undergraduate or graduate students who have been recommended by faculty members and who have done well in the target course or discipline.
Drop-in Tutoring
Drop-in Tutoring offers regular hours each week, during which students can work through difficult course material, study for exams and get assistance with homework.

- Business - Covers all 100 and 200 level Business courses as well as Managerial Finance (FIN 348) and Operations Management (MGMT 484)
- Math & Computer Science - Covers Differential Equations (MATH 271) and Computer Science I & II (CSCI 156 & 157)
- Physics - Covers Physics II (PHYS 126)
Study Buddies
Study Buddies is a new program offered by CAS where students can learn effective homework habits and study strategies. Our Peer Study Buddies are available in the CAS office during dedicated study hours where students are free to utilize our space for homework and studying, or even if they're just looking for a relaxed atmosphere.

If you need assistance with a class that is not supported by Supplemental Instruction or one of the Drop-in Tutoring disciplines, please take advantage of the following resources:
- Visiting Study Buddy office hours
- Your instructor's office hours (you can also email your instructor to set up a meeting)
- Peer study groups (virtual or socially distanced): research shows that students learn more when studying together
- Academic Consultation at CAS: set up a virtual meeting with one of our consultants to discuss how to study more effectively, manage your time and tasks more efficiently, reduce test-anxiety, etc.
