The UAGC Library offers one-on-one help for students who have questions or need help with research. If your tutoring needs are non-research-related, UAGC offers a variety of support for you through the Writing Center and Subject-Specific Tutoring. 

Library help

For research help, you can ask a question through this system, QuickAnswers, or you can work one-on-one with a librarian through 24/7 library tutoring, phone, or email. To access or for more information about these resources click on the links in the top right corner of the library's homepage.

You may also want to contact your academic adviser to see if they can offer you some other options.

We also encourage you to reach out to your instructor if you need clarification about any of the materials you are learning in your course or if you are unclear on instructions for assignments or discussions. Your instructor is there to support your learning experience.
