Academic Success Center

The services available for graduate students through the Academic Success Center include writing assistance and support for students with disabilities.

The Writing Center

The Writing Center offers help to all enrolled students with their writing at any point in the process. Writing tutoring is offered both in person and online. In-person sessions take place in the Academic Success Center in Seton Hall. Online sessions can occur synchronously or asynchronously. Center hours are posted at the beginning of each semester in the myNU sign-up system. Students can sign up to meet with a tutor by logging into myNU under the "Resources" tab and clicking on "Writing Center Registration." Session types (online or in person) are color-coded in the sign-up system for ease of reference.
