Don't hesitate to reach out to a Student Success Coach (studentsuccess@nu.edu) for additional support developing study skills.

Student Success provides resources for students to develop the skills and strategies to become independent and active learners, as well as helping them gain the confidence to achieve academic success. We are here to help graduate and undergraduate students avoid Academic Probation and Academic Disqualification and to make students’ goals more accessible by giving them the support and tools needed to overcome challenges.
