Campus Resources

Taking courses at the ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é gives you access to many of the same services as students pursuing a degree.

Academic support

Academic advisors in the College Center for Advising Services (CCAS) are available to assist you with academic planning. CCAS advisors can help you select courses, provide you with information concerning academic policies, and refer you to other campus offices.

The University's Office for Online Learning has created a website, Learning During Times of Disruption, with multiple resources for students addressing many of the logistics of online learning.

The Learning Center offers services that promote academic success, including course-specific collaborative workshops and study groups, academic success coaching, study zone, and a study skills course. The center also created the Study Skills Guide to Mastering Remote Learning which, although geared to undergraduate students, contains useful information for students at all levels in and many disciplines.

Athletic facilities

As a Continuing Studies student, you can purchase an R Club membership, which includes full access to our athletic facility, including group fitness classes, courts, and fitness center. R Club membership includes access to:

Disability resources

The Office of Disability Resources offers a variety of services to provide an inclusive experience and equal access to academic content and program requirements. Their approach relies on collaboration among students, staff, and instructors.

Students are not considered to have self-identified a disability until they specifically express a desire to do so through an individual interview and by submitting an .

Housing

Housing is not available for non-matriculated students during the fall and spring semesters.

To learn more, visit the University’s libraries website.

Parking and transportation

University shuttles are outfitted with real-time tracking equipment. Simply go to the site on your computer or smartphone, or download the free Passio GO! app to see the buses on a map. Live tracking, arrival predictions, and proximity alerts are also available for all University bus lines.

Transcripts

If you need a transcript, wait until your course grade is recorded on Blackboard at the end of the term, and then order it online. See the Registrar’s transcript page for more information.

Writing and Speaking Center

You can access resources and support through the Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program including:

  • Writing and speaking tutoring
  • Writing groups
  • Graduate Writing Project workshops or boot camps (only for students taking graduate courses)

Students are encouraged to email wsap@rochester.edu to get added to the student database, which will allow you to use the Center's online appointment system.
