UR Resources

Access coordinators often work in partnership with our graduate student consultants to improve time management, test taking strategies and devise customized study plans. Our consultants also teach our study skills course, Methods of Inquiry.
Study Groups—Each semester a slate of foundational courses are supported by a study group that meets under the direction of a peer leader on a weekly basis. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this free service.
