Academic Support Center Resources

A university degree is more than just 40 courses and 120 credit hours.

At Assumption University, it is a personal and intellectual journey, and no two are alike. Assumption is committed to academic advising founded on a strong, individual relationship between advisor and advisee. All students are advised by informed, experienced, full-time teaching faculty committed to helping you chart your journey at each stage of your experience.

Year-by-Year
- First-year: Assumption matches each student with an advisor based on academic interests and goals. Those advisors aid in the transition to university-level academics, guide students to resources on campus, including the University's online advising and registration system, WebAdvisor.
- Second year: Advisors focus on supporting students as they choose among our 40 majors.
- Junior year: In addition to course selection and career discussions, there are exciting opportunities such as study abroad or internships.
- Senior year: Advisors support advisees as they apply to graduate school and post-baccalaureate scholarships, or move into the professional world.
Students may work one-on-one with the ASC’s professional staff on academic skills such as:
- Time management
- Organization
- Note-taking strategies
- Reading strategies
- Test preparation
The Academic Support Center facilitates First-year Experience COMPASS workshops in:
- Strategies for Academic Success
