Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a tutor?
Tutors are available through the Academic Link, located in Knott Hall on the Greenspring Campus. Simply visit the Academic Link and tell them the subject in which you would like tutoring. Be prepared to offer them two or three days and times when you would be available for tutoring and they will do their best to accommodate your preferences. When you sign up for tutoring, they will give you the option of meeting with the tutor for one time only, or for the remainder of the semester. It's never too late to benefit from tutoring so I encourage you to take full advantage of the wonderful group of tutors that are available to assist you.

How do I find out the name and email address of my advisor?
Your advisor's name and email address is available through the "My Profile" section located in WebXpress. Once you know who your advisor is, you can find out where his/her office is located by searching for their name in the directory section of the Stevenson website. If you are unable to determine who your advisor is, please do not hesitate to contact the Director of First Year Experience, Heather Bray.

What do I do if I am going to be out of class for a prolonged period of time?
Contact your professors by phone or through email. Also, contact Jeff Kelly, Associate Dean of Academic Support Services, so he can contact your professors as well.

How do I get a work-study job?
First, you have to make sure you are eligible for work-study. This can be done by going to the Financial Aid Office (Knott Hall). If you determine that you are eligible for work-study, you can search for available student jobs on the Human Resources Employment site.

I want to work on campus but I'm not eligible for work-study. What are my options?
There are some non-work-study jobs available on campus. For a complete list of student jobs, take a look at the Human Resources Employment site and focus on the jobs that say "Student."

Should I get involved in a club or organization?
Yes! I think it is important for all students to get involved in at least once club or organization on campus. By getting involved, you will develop leadership and interpersonal skills, as well as meet new people. Take a look at the list of the various clubs & organizations on campus and consider joining one if you haven't already done so. Also, if you have an idea for a club that is not on the list, please contact Student Activities to learn how you can start a new club.
