We
measure academic success one student at a time!
 There are various support services available to College of
Nursing students to assist them with their academic endeavors, such as those
that relate to test-taking, study skills and subject-specific issues.
Additional sources of assistance and information are
available from Villanova’s web site, the College of Nursing web site, the
Undergraduate Catalog, and the College of Nursing Students Handbook. Most
importantly, students should take the responsibility to meet with their advisor
in the College of Nursing on an ongoing basis. In addition to providing
assistance with registration and course selection, the advisor is able to direct
the student to appropriate resources for academic, financial, health or personal
concerns.
To supplement the advising process, our Student Academic Resources Advisor is
available during regular business hours to assist students with immediate
advising and other academic issues. This advisor is also the link for our
multicultural students to the resources offered by the University's
Center of Multicultural Affairs.
Test-Taking and Study Skills
The Study Skills Program of the University Counseling Center is designed to
help students achieve academic success.
Visit the
Study Skills Program
web site to get tips and workshop schedules.
In addition, the Nursing Learning Resource Center (LRC)
routinely offers a program for nursing students on learning styles and test taking skills. This program
provides techniques to assist students in using their brain's preferred method
to assimilate information in a classroom environment, extract information from written materials, and study using techniques which
assist in placing information in long term memory (as opposed to short term
memory where information is quickly forgotten). NCLEX
Preparation resources are also offered. Contact the
LRC for additional
information.
Learning Support Services
The Office of Learning Support
Services, in conjunction with faculty, is committed to providing reasonable
academic accommodations for students with various disabilities. It is the
responsibility of the student to identify themselves to the Coordinator of
Learning Support Services and submit for review current documentation of their
disability. Visit the Learning Support Services web site for more
information at
www.learningsupportservices.villanova.edu.
Learning Resource Center (LRC)
The Learning Resource Center (LRC)
provides numerous tutorial and audiovisual programs for use by students to
supplement class and clinical learning.
Subject-Specific Assistance
Writing Center
The Villanova Writing Center provides a comfortable atmosphere for a one-to-one
session with a qualified tutor. Students are asked to bring their paper,
assignment, and an open mind; tutors will do their best to help students improve
their writing. Visit the Writing Center web site at
www.writingcenter.villanova.edu
for more information.
Mathematics Learning and Resource Center
The
Mathematics Learning and Resource Center
(MLRC) is a place where students can get free tutorial help with their freshman

Statistics for Health Care Professionals. Contact the MLRC to schedule an

Tutors
At the beginning of each semester, the Undergraduate Office of the College
of Nursing develops a list of student tutors for Chemistry and Anatomy and
Physiology. The list of available tutors may be obtained from your advisor
or in the Undergraduate
Office. Additional tutors may also be identified by the Biology and
Chemistry Departments.
