Student Support Services

Cornell is committed to helping its students achieve their full academic and intellectual potential, maintain optimal health, and reach their career goals. In support of that mission, the university offers services ranging from study skills workshops to on-campus healthcare to post-graduate planning.

Every Cornell student is assigned a faculty advisor to help them plan their academic career. Most of the undergraduate colleges at Cornell have their own academic advising offices as well. In addition, Cornell offers the following:

  • The Carol Tatkon Center - A comfortable place where first-year students can attend classes, get help with course work, and relax with friends while learning their way around Cornell
  • The Center for Learning and Teaching (CLT) - Classes, tutorials, study skills workshops, and private consultation, as well as academic, housing, and transportation accommodations available through Student Disability Services
