Helping you succeed at all levels of your nursing education
Our Academic Success Team supports all CU Nursing students across every degree program. From your first day as part of our community until the moment you graduate, we're by your side every step of the way. We are here to help you lean into your academic strengths, grow as a learner, and achieve your goals.
How our team can support you
We take a compassionate approach, creating an equitable environment where you'll flourish as an active, self-aware, and confident learner. Through our collaboration, you'll gain a clear path forward, master effective academic strategies, recognize your growth as a nursing student, and discover a fresh perspective on your unique strengths and opportunities for development.
We'll empower you to excel through personalized support with time management, dynamic learning strategies, proven test-taking techniques, managing anxiety, customized catch-up plans when you fall behind, and much more—all tailored to help you thrive throughout your nursing journey.
Peer tutoring
Our students are here to help you, too
CU Nursing offers a free peer tutoring program to all undergraduate students. Our tutors are current CU Nursing students who've successfully completed the same courses you're currently enrolled in, understanding exactly what you're going through. Want to earn money helping others? You can apply to become a tutor after completing the first half of your program.
Book sessions at times that work for you
Sessions are offered online via Zoom or in person based on your schedule. Make sure to come prepared and remember to tell your tutor what subject you want to review.
