GUTS: Greater University Tutoring Service

A great option for getting help with coursework – this is a campus-wide tutoring service, not specific to the COE. GUTS offers drop-in tutoring and academic match. 

Undergraduate Learning Center

The ULC provides several great resources to COE students specifically.

  • PrEPS courses: Practicing Engineering Problem Solving
    • These courses are offered to provide academic support for students taking EMA 201, EMA 202, ME 240, Physics 201, or Physics 202. Students meet twice a week with an undergraduate student instructor to work through problems similar to those that they will encounter in class. This course does not count for credit; however, attendance is mandatory.
  • Drop-in Tutoring
    • Available for most subjects and lower-level engineering courses
  • Tutoring by Request
    • One-on-one tutoring that all women in the COE are eligible to utilize!
    • Available for most subjects and lower-level engineering courses
  • PrEPS Study Tables
    • Similar to PrEPS courses, but more informal.
