Academic Support
The Mathematics and Statistics department at Saint Louis University offers an array of academic support services for students.
Office Hours
Your instructor's office hours are the first way you should seek help if you are struggling in a class. Don't feel like you need a "good question" to approach your instructor. If you cannot make scheduled office hours all instructors will schedule alternate times by appointment, within reason.
Help Sessions
The department of mathematics and statistics provides drop-in tutoring to support all mathematics and statistics courses from elementary algebra to Calculus III. Help sessions are staffed by advanced mathematics students, and no appointments are necessary.
Spring 2025
Math help sessions will begin on Jan. 21 and end on May 2. Help sessions during the day are in Ritter 111. Hours are Monday through Thursday 10 a.m to 5 p.m., and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Drop in, sign in, and say hello to a tutor.
Note: Help sessions will not be held over Wellness Days, Labor Day, Fall break, Thanksgiving
Break, Spring Break, Easter Break or when all classes are cancelled.
