The Office of Academic Skills, located on the second floor of Miller Library, is available to all students who wish to acquire learning strategies and receive support as they progress through the Washington College academic program. Through individualized guidance, the OAS Director and Peer Tutors partner with students as they learn and practice the skills needed to become active and independent learners in a collegiate environment. Examples of these skills include discipline-specific study strategies, strategies for time management, test-taking, and managing test anxiety, and reading skills for comprehension and retention. Additionally, Peer Tutors are available to provide assistances in a variety of subjects including natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities based content.

Disability Access

Disability Services, a part of the Office of Academic Skills, provides information, support, and accessibility accommodations for individuals with disabilities on campus. Our mission is to ensure that all students, employees, and visitors have equal access to programs and services available at Washington College.
