How do I contact the EDGE for Help?
Academic Success is prepared to provide academic coaching and tutoring in an online environment. Our goal is to maintain the same level of high-quality support and accessibility of services that students have come to expect from Academic Success. The process for accessing tutoring and academic coaching services is not much different than what students are accustomed to and is outlined (and updated regularly) at success.creighton.edu.
Academic Coaches will continue to meet 1:1 with students via Zoom. Students should use CreightonConnect to schedule appointments as usual, then use the link provided in the confirmation email to log in to the meeting at the appropriate time. Step-by-step instructions are available at success.creighton.edu under Academic Coaching. Phone appointments are available by request.
Tutoring will be moving all services online via Zoom beginning Monday, March 23rd. As always, students can make 1:1 appointments and find group tutoring information and schedules at success.creighton.edu.
1:1 Tutoring: Students should continue to schedule appointments for 1:1 tutoring through BluePoint. Once the appointment is made, the tutor will send a follow-up email to the student with a link to join the Zoom session. Detailed instructions will be available at success.creighton.edu. Students and tutors are encouraged to use the Zoom whiteboard feature or screen-share if needed.
Drop-in BIO/CHM/MTH/PHY Tutoring: Links to drop-in sessions will be available at success.creighton.edu under Tutoring/Drop-In Tutoring schedule. Students should find a tutor who covers their course and click the tutor’s name, which will open the link to the tutor’s Zoom session. Drop-in tutors will spend approximately 10-15 minutes with each student (as usual) before moving to the next student in the waiting room. Wait times may vary, but we will do our best to keep things moving! Students and tutors are encouraged to use the Zoom whiteboard feature or screen-share to keep sessions collaborative.
Attached Tutoring: Links to attached tutoring sessions will be available at success.creighton.edu under Tutoring/Attached Tutoring. Attached tutoring sessions will continue in a group format, with multiple students logged in at the same time for q&a. Tutors may answer questions individually or choose to review information with the whole group via the whiteboard feature or screen-sharing in Zoom.
Supplemental Instruction: Links to supplemental instruction sessions will be available at success.creighton.edu under Tutoring/Supplemental Instruction. Supplemental Instruction Leaders will continue to provide a content review and practice/study materials along with a q&a portion at the end of each session. Tutors may answer questions individually or choose to review information with the whole group via the whiteboard feature or screen-sharing in Zoom.
- Multiple academic support resources are also available at Academic Tips and Tools. These include tips and strategies for success in online classes, weekly planners and tools for time management, suggestions on managing academic anxiety, and exam wrappers.
Switching to an all-online format will likely bring some challenges, but your friends in Academic Success are here to help make the transition as smooth as possible. Please reach out to an academic coach or send an email to edge [at] creighton [dot] edu if you have any questions or concerns.
