#collegesupport

Hi everyone! As some of you may no, next year I’ll be heading to college. In my country the living cost is absoloutely appalling and I do not have enough to move out of my home to live closer to my college. Even sharing this post would do wonders. Any help is severly appreciated! If there’s any other way people could think of me raising money please lmk. I have applied to hundreds of jobs and no where will hire me, I have a patreon but I rarely post and I have an online buisiness I am too burnt out to run.

please any support will mean the world💜

We’re almost half-way through the semester which means we’re coming down to midterms. Many of the staff here at UNC are looking for ways to support student success outside the classroom and this blog is dedicated to talking about some of the different ways students can get help from peers and faculty outside of their professors. 

Academic Support and Advising (ASA) Location: Michener Library - L149

Academic Support and Advising has many resources available for students one service they offer is major exploration. This is specialized for students who are looking for help finding a major that best suits them. Whether you’re considering changing your major or you need help finding one, an academic advisor will be happy to sit down with you and explore some options best suited for you. ASA is also responsible for students who are on academic probation (Having less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA) they’ll give you advice on how to boost your GPA and connect you with resources to help you bring your GPA back up. 

Tutoring Center Location: Michener Library - L149

The Tutoring Center is a fantastic option for students struggling in their classes. Tutorial Services (TS) provides peer-led tutoring sessions to specific classes so you can get the help you need, and it’s free to students enrolled in undergrad courses. Along with the tutoring center, you can also check out the writing center. 

Writing Center Location: Ross Hall, Room 1230

The writing center is available to help students feel confident, and foster growth and self-sufficiency in their writing. The writing center will not edit your work for you, rather give you the skills you need to revise your own work and they’re willing to work with all levels of experience in writing. 

Center for Human Enrichment Location: Michener Library Room L116

The Center for Human Enrichment (CHE) provides first-generation college students with the care, and support they need to be successful here. CHE accepts about 70 new participants each year into their program. Students participating in CHE benefit from Outstanding academic support from our professional advising team and peer advising team, Ability to participate and further develop skills related to college success, financial literacy, internship and career opportunities through workshops series during the academic year, And more.  

UNC Health Center Location: Cassidy Hall

If you’re feeling a little under the weather you can always visit the UNC Health Center. The health center offers immunizations, health care, treatment of minor injuries and medication refills. You can visit them Monday-Friday 8am-5:00pm. But with the cold weather slowly drifting in they will begin opening on Saturdays in October as well.
