Overview

The College H.E.L.P. Program is a fee-based service that works with Marshall University students diagnosed with a Specific Learning Disability (S.L.D.) and/or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (A.D.H.D). Eligible students must apply and interview to be considered for acceptance. College students receive instruction and coaching in study skills, time management, and organization from qualified learning specialists and a life coach through our Skills Development and Life Coaching Programs.

Graduate assistant tutors and professional tutors provide one-on-one academic tutoring. The Americans with Disabilities Act 1990 (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act guarantee the student’s testing accommodations, which the tutors manage in conjunction with professors and H.E.L.P.

Tailored to individual student needs

We work closely with students, their parents/guardians, diagnosticians, and education specialists to assess each student’s level of academic ability and need and provide them with the most necessary and practical services to help ensure his or her academic success at Marshall University.
