Welcome to the Academic Success Office at the University of Dallas!
When you are struggling in a class, in all cases, the first thing you should do is sit down with the professor teaching that class. Check the class syllabus to find your professor's office and a list of office hours. If you have misplaced your syllabus or the class has yet to start, click here, on the employee directory, to find your professor's office, phone number and email. We'd recommend finding all your professors' offices before classes begin.
After connecting with your professors, please contact our office for additional support. You can meet in person or virtually with the following:

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are resources only offered online? Are any resources provided on-ground?
- The Academic Success Office offers both online and on-ground resources. Resources are accessible (to varying degrees) online to accommodate online-only students. Additionally, some resources may not be as easily accessible on-ground as in the past. Our focus is making our services accessible to all students, no matter their situation. If you need help accessing resources, contact us today.
- Is Peer Tutoring online or on-ground?
- The Tutoring Center offers peer tutoring primarily on-ground for the six subjects connected to the center: Economics, History, Philosophy, Politics, Psychology, and Theology. However, students may specifically request an online session via an email to the tutor.
- For schedules and locations for these and other subjects, check the Tutoring schedule to see what hours they offer and if they are online or on-ground. When in doubt, email Ms. Ana Henriquez at sahenriquez@352396.com.
