Academic Support

College is challenging, but we will do everything we can to help you succeed. You can always turn to your academic advisor for help with everything from academic planning to classroom struggles.

Your advisor can refer you to appropriate on- and off-campus resources, assist in academic planning, and provide career development support.

New students are assigned an advisor upon admission to IUPUI and the School of Science.

Many of our departments offer help through academic support centers, peer-led learning opportunities, and tutoring services.
