Finals Week
Resources
Managing stress and finishing strong.
Students! As you head toward finals week, here are some important tips for support during the conclusion of the fall semester.
Academic Resources
Academic Support
A wide range of academic support and coaching, including tutoring in key areas such as math, writing, and the STEM disciplines, is available in the Center for Academic Success and Accessibility Services (CASAS). CASAS also offers a zen den/sensory space along with accommodations for testing and a low-noise environment.
Study Spaces
Study Spaces provide you with the time, space, and opportunity to complete projects and essays, and study for your exams. Two of the most popular buildings for this purpose, both offering multiple study spaces are Buley Library (offering reserved group study rooms) and the Adanti Student Center. Commuter student lounges are located in the student center (Room 218) and Jennings Hall (room 136). Lounges and basement spaces are also available for study in the residence halls. Check out Farnham Programming Space for their extended study hours.
Wellbeing: Physical and Mental Health
This can be a very stressful time of year for students, and you may find yourselves battling colds or other ailments. We have great support if you are struggling with your mental health or feeling ill. You may also contact our Wellbeing Center for support. See tips on self-care and managing stress.
Individual Assistance
If you are “stuck” and aren’t sure where to turn, reach out to the many individuals who are here to help, including Peer Mentors and INQ Professors for first-year students, Residence Life staff for residential students, coaches for athletes, and University Access Program advocates for students associated with these programs. See a comprehensive list of campus resources that can lend assistance.
Finals Week
Check the final exam schedule. It may vary from your current course schedule, and review your syllabus and connect with your professors if you have questions or are scheduled for three exams in one day.
