Seven Helpful ASU Services

1. Career Services- If you are looking for a part-time or full-time job on or off-campus, this site can get you set up with information on who’s hiring and holding interviews, then gives you the contact information of the employer so that you can get in touch with them. This is how I got my first job in college. (http://careers.astate.edu)

2. Tutoring- Forget your pride, this really does help! If you are struggling a little in class one week, or on a particular assignment, you can take advantage of these resources. Tutors in math, writing, science, and languages offer free assistance to students seeking a little help. (http://univcollege.astate.edu/advising/Tutoring/)

3. Health Service- The Student Health Center comes in really handy around cold season or when you can’t figure out why your foot hurts, but also can’t really afford a visit to the hospital or doctor. They offer treatments, exams, immunizations, etc. and won’t cost a fortune.

4. Disability Services - This resource is helpful, not only for students with severe disability. These services also provide assistance if you tend to get unbearably anxious before tests or finals. They even offer demonstrations for students who aren’t quite caught up to understanding the latest technology with computers. (http://disability.astate.edu/services.html)

5. Information and Technology Services - I’m seriously so impressed with these guys. ITS provides extremely beneficial help with any technology you are trying to access on campus, including your own. I especially love the Frequently Asked Questions page on their site which breaks down all kinds of questions in the case of trouble.(http://its.astate.edu/faq/)

6. Counseling Services - Even if all it is only stress, we all could use some help sorting out our thoughts or issues now and then. This service is a great and free support that can be extremely helpful during finals, or just any tough times that we all know come and go. I highly recommend this resource.

7. UPD - Who knew the University Police Department was here to help? Until researching, I had no idea how much service they offer, aside from just writing tickets. They offer unlocking for the clumsy ones of us who lock our keys in the car, also boosts, campus escorts, engraving of valuable personal items, and fingerprinting. Some of these services are offered freely and or 24hrs a day. I think I may have to try some of these out… (http://police.astate.edu/Pages/services.htm)
