Academic Services and Learning Resources

The Office of Academic Services and Learning Resources helps each Holy Cross student take the next step toward academic success. Whether you’re a first-year student looking for a tutoring workshop, a sophomore Honors student looking for advice on choosing a major, a junior athlete seeking to improve time management skills to become a stronger leader, or a senior trying to balance your current courses with planning for life after Holy Cross, the office has something to offer you.

Through workshops and individual appointments, the office helps students:

  • improve time management, reading, and study strategies 
  • clarify academic interests in order to select or change a major
  • augment a major with a minor, concentration, academic internship, study abroad, or other special academic programs
  • connect with other academic resources, including peer tutoring

The office is located in Dinand Library 204 and is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4:30 p.m.
