Academic Support

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Saint Louis University offers an array of academic support services for students.

Office Hours

Your instructor's office hours are the first way you should seek help if you are struggling in a class. Don't feel like you need a "good question" to approach your instructor. If you cannot make scheduled office hours all instructors will schedule alternate times by appointment, within reason.

Help Sessions

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides drop-in tutoring to support all mathematics and statistics courses from elementary algebra to Calculus III. Help sessions are staffed by advanced mathematics students, and no appointments are necessary.

Fall 2025

Math help sessions will begin on Aug. 26 and end on Dec. 5. Help sessions during the day are in room 111 of Ritter Hall. Hours are from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m on Fridays. Drop in, sign in and say hello to a tutor.

Help sessions will not be held on Wellness Days, Labor Day, Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, Spring Break, Easter Break or when classes are cancelled.
