RIT Academic Success Center

03/15/2023

"Understanding a student’s “Why?” can be a first step in nurturing their success...[in the] Academic Success Center, staff and student employees work with students to find their intrinsic values and inspire them to work in accordance with those values.

In partnership with the Career Services and Cooperative Education Office, RIT students can explore their motivations to learn and work, as well as plan for a future of values-based living. 'Connecting what is going on intrinsically with students to their external demands and deadlines is where the magic is at."

Rochester Institute of Technology’s Academic Success Center builds staff-student relationships to add a deeper meaning to academics and coursework.

Hi Tigers! Explore how the Academic Success Center is contributing to breaking down silos across campus, for students, and helping to alter negative stereotypes around receiving academic assistance.

RIT combined its tutoring and study resources, reducing negative assumptions students held about receiving academic help.

Your mind needs rest too, so remember to take breaks. A great way to prepare for a big exam is to get a good night’s rest. Rest before an exam or presentation, will help your brain perform better.

Get easily distracted? A way to avoid distractions is to study in an environment where you can focus. Try to create a designated study spot at home or even a quiet spot on camps. A couple of great on-campus study spots are Wallace on Ice, the Reading Room in the Campus Center, and the University Services Center.

Study guides are a great way to consolidate all that information from the semester. They are a great tool to review notes and understand the material better. You can even build these study guides with classmates to better compare and contrast your findings.

Hey, Tigers! We know finals are starting next week so it’s time to get those ducks in a row. We hope this week’s tip series helps you prepare so you can stress less as you wrap up your semester.

In order to organize and plan out your time, you will need a schedule of all the upcoming exam dates. Creating a schedule will help you know which exams to prioritize. From that, you can create a study plan that allows you to study at your own pace!

Mosaic is on the top floor of the Student Alumni Union. Inside Mosaic and around the space are a few spots where students can study. This is usually a popular spot since it has outlets, so be sure to get there early before it fills up!

The Student Innovation Hall is a round, open space and usually quiet, which makes it the perfect place to study in between classes. The open space is set up classroom style, which is also good for meetings or presentations.
