Handouts
Our handouts serve as a collection of advice and guidelines compiled by our coaches and tutors on some of the most common issues that college students encounter. Handouts are available in Adobe Acrobat format (.pdf) and can be used as portable, digital documents or convenient on-demand printouts.

- Coaching Handouts
Our handouts serve as a collection of advice and guidelines compiled by our coaches on some of the most common academic issues that college students encounter. While nothing is quite as good as going to the source (your professor, Learning Coach, the course textbook, etc.), our handouts can help you understand the basics of academic success or navigating the college landscape.
- Writing Handouts
Our handouts serve as a collection of advice and guidelines compiled by our tutors on some of the most common writing issues that college students encounter. While nothing is quite as good as going to the source (your professor, the course textbook, the appropriate style manual, etc.), our handouts can help you understand the basics of academic writing or navigate a new topic.
