Normalize use of support services.
For a variety of reasons, first-generation college students may not access important support services,
such as Tutoring Services (Wyzant), Accommodations Resource Center, and Writing Support Services.
Instructors can help by emphasizing the value of support services for all students.
Please see the sample ANNOUNCEMENTS below:

Hi Class, I strongly encourage all class members to use BU's Writing Support Services on the upcoming paper assignment. Writing Support Services are for all BU students, whether local or at a distance. All writers can benefit from their assistance. |

Hi Students, Just a note regarding the University Support Services discussed this week: Something I hear my students say over and over and over is they wish they took more advantage of all the resources and support available to them here at Bellevue University. Even for myself! I remember it was only after I graduated that I realized just how much I underutilized all the support services I had access to as a university student. Don't make the same mistake I (and many of my students) have made. |
