Support Beyond the CVM
As a USU student, you have access to university-wide academic support services that extend beyond what the College of Veterinary Medicine provides. This section connects you to those resources and helps you understand how they can complement the support available within the CVM.
University Support Resources
Utah State University offers a range of academic support services available to all enrolled students. These can be especially helpful for foundational skills, math, writing, and general study strategy support.
- Academic Belonging & Learning Excellence (ABLE) - provide support and resources to teach behavioral habits of mind to promote learning excellence; and collaborating with campus partners to integrate academic belonging & learning excellence best practices into all academic support initiatives and programs across the university system.
- Academic Success Coaching - connect with trained coaches who can provide one-on-one training for study habits and academic skills.
- Aggie Math Learning Center - a free resource that aids students in obtaining help with mathematics and statistics. Services provided by the AMLC include free, drop-in tutoring both face to face and online, recitation leader office hours, student and faculty workshops, and other support for mathematical and statistical learning aids for students, staff, and faculty at Utah State.
- TRIO student Support Services - Individualized support for first-generation students, students from low-income backgrounds, and student with documented disabilities.
- USU Writing Center - a resource for USU students to improve their communication skills. We collaborate with writers and communicators of all levels, on all subjects, and through all stages of writing. During our one-with-one tutoring sessions, we ask questions, explore ideas, research solutions, practice writing concepts, and build connections. We believe writing isn’t just a thing we do, but an extension of everything we do.
- Disability Resource Center (DRC) - The DRC works with individuals, faculty, and staff to ensure that students with disabilities can fully participate in University programs, services, and activities. The center helps individuals with disabilities overcome barriers that could otherwise limit their academic, professional, and personal potential.
- Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) - At USU’s Counseling and Prevention Services (CAPS), our mission is to embrace a holistic approach to student development by removing psychological, emotional, and behavioral barriers to learning and success. USU students with access to a campus are eligible for CAPS mental health services. Most services are free to qualified students, confidential, and not part of your academic or university records.
