Drop-In Help

Have a math question? Need help with that stats formula? Students can obtain assistance understanding concepts from a variety of quantitative-based subject areas – fundamentals, algebra, calculus, proofs, linear algebra, financial math, probability and statistics, economics, computer coding, etc.

Our drop-in sessions provide an informal peer-to-peer learning environment. No appointment is needed. 

For winter term, we will be offering a combination of virtual and on campus help sessions.
