When thinking of studying and resources, often the first thing that comes to mind is a library! In addition to our four libraries on campus, including Mullins Library, which is the second largest in the state, there are many resources available to us as students at the University of Arkansas.
One of the best resources on campus is Class Plus, which stands for Center for Learning and Student Success. The Enhanced Learning Center (ELC), as it is was once known, offers tutoring services in every subject on campus. Those providing the tutoring services are required to have received an A in the course, so you are guaranteed help from a person that has previously excelled in the class. Class Plus also offers meetings with mentors to help with learning study skills, note-taking tips, and other methods to ace a course and succeed in school. On their web page Class+ also offers online resources and links to students looking for help with managing stress, test-taking skills, and more. Class+ is located on the bottom floor of Gregson Hall. Tutoring services are also provided in Mullins library and in the Union. The Class+ does allow for walk-in tutoring sessions so scheduling ahead is not necessary. Supplemental Instruction is a program that also falls under Class+. The resource Class+ is a great way to find additional help for difficult coursework during your time here at the University of Arkansas.
Another service provided is something called Supplemental Instruction (SI). SI is offered for difficult courses and involves weekly review sessions for students. The sessions are taught by students who have previously taken the course and have excelled.
I have enrolled in Supplemental Instruction for multiple courses and found it extremely helpful in developing a better understanding for the material being taught.

Tutors that work for the Quality Writing Center, also known as the Q.W.C., can help you in any stage of the writing process. From brainstorming, to editing your final draft, they can help. They also provide assistance with scholarship essays or applications.
If you need help editing your resume or cover letter, need to practice for an interview, or want to talk about career options, the Career Development Center is here for you! I used them personally when I first began creating my resume. Simple things such as formatting can be overwhelming at times, and they helped me from start to finish. No matter what you are stuck on, whether it is a calculus problem, an English paper, or looking for a job, there are resources on campus to answer any question you may have!

The Center for Educational Access is a program at the University of Arkansas that allows students who may experience test-taking difficulties to ensure they receive the best grades they possibly can without large classes overwhelming them. This is available for students with medical conditions and learning disabilities. They also offer a program that assists injured students. May it be a broken leg or simply a sprained ankle, they will pick you up from your dorms and take you to and from class so you will never have to miss a day of class.
This is an amazing opportunity at the University of Arkansas that you should take advantage of if you ever need it.
