Student Support
We know individualized support can make a real difference in your college experience. We care about you and understand that there are many factors that contribute to a happy, healthy experience—that's why we have systems in place to support you. Get answers to your questions from your academic advisor, your IUP Guide, or the Hawks Q&A Center. Take advantage of tutoring to help you through a tough class, or get help from the Writing Center to polish that research paper. Explore student research opportunities or get extra support from the Counseling Center and our Health Service. You’ll find a wide range of resources here that you can rely on.
Answers When You Need Them
For general questions, students can ask the Hawks Q&A Center anything at all or turn to their guide: a staff member assigned to undergraduates during freshman year to help them connect with IUP resources. And your academic advisor can help you navigate all things academic.
Academic Support
Support is available to you through a variety of programs on campus, including assigned mentors, tutoring, writing center assistance, advice on choosing a major, library assistance, and more.
