Help is Here

Stressing about classes yet?  Hope not (especially during a week off!). 

But just in case you're already realizing that your____________ (fill in the blank) class is going to be tougher than you expected, now's the time to do something about it.

You've probably heard that Nassau offers all kinds of academic services: labs, tutoring, videos, computer programs, and so on.  It's true: there's extra help available in almost every subject and department.  And these services are free--no fees or hourly rates, which you'd definitely pay if you hired your own tutor. 

What's more, you can go for help more than once, so if you really need to work on math or writing or whatever, you can make follow-up visits to the office or center that offers the service.

If you're feeling funny about asking for extra help, don't!  There's absolutely NOTHING weird or dumb about taking advantage of Nassau's resources.  In fact, the best students--people who routinely do well in their classes--are quick to seek help when they need it (which maybe explains why they get A's).

So if you think you could use a helping hand this semester, get it.  Check page 11 in your NCC planner for details about tutoring and other help services.  Or go directly to academic departments' home pages, www.ncc.edu/programsandcourses/academic_departments, and find out what's available.  

Don't wait until you've gotten bad grades or warnings from your professor.  Don't wait until the walls have closed in and your only choice is to withdraw.  Step up and take care of yourself--now.  You owe it your future.
