Academic Support at SUU

Dear T-Bird Parents & Families,

Thank you to all who joined us on campus for Parent and Family Weekend. It was a beautiful weekend, and it was fun to see so many families enjoying campus together. Keep watching our our Facebook page , we will post weekend pictures next week.

Our students have survived midterms and will enjoy a well-deserved fall break this weekend. As we approach registration for spring semester and as midterm grades come back, it is normal for students to wonder if they are on the right track. This is part of the great adventure of being a college student. Students received an email this week reminding them this is normal, and offering some support resources. I have included some of them here, in case you have a similar conversation with your student.

Not sure you are in the right major ? No worries. The average student changes his/her major three times. SUU offers numerous majors to choose from. Check out your options here .

Not even sure what you are interested in ? Check out SUU's interest finder here .

Not sure what you can do with your major ? Visit the "What Can I Do With This Major?" resource on the SUU Career Center website here .

Having a hard time deciding on a major ? Not sure if your major is right for you ? This is normal. Let us help! Schedule a career assessment with one of our licensed career advisors here .

We appreciate all the support our students receive from home. Here is a great article that looks at some of the ways students may struggle academically and how parents can help. As questions arise throughout the semester, please don't hesitate to reach out. We also understand that in many instances you may be the first to recognize that your student is struggling emotionally, physically, academically, etc. We have created a way for you to report a student concern to SUU so we can help your student find success: https://www.suu.edu/parents/student-concern.html . There is so much support available on campus, let's help your student use it. I look forward to continuing to work together to create a great experience for your student at SUU.

Students are also encouraged to meet with their professors during the professor's office hours. It's a great time to get one on one help especially before a big test, or if they could use help with specific homework questions. Office hours
