Please encourage students to utilize academic support:

• 95% of students utilize CAAS services before they graduate
• 65-70% of students use CAAS services each year 
• 70% of first-year students attend Supplemental Instruction (SI)

CAAS resources range from the Writing Desk, which provides support to all St. Olaf students at any point in the writing process (even brainstorming how to get started), to more individualized services such as academic subject tutoring, success coaching, and multilingual student support. 

Supplemental Instruction (SI) gives students a group learning opportunity to engage with course content and learn new study and learning strategies. 

CAAS is dedicated to ensuring equal access to educational opportunities, and the inclusion of all students with disabilities at St. Olaf College. Disability and Access services assist Oles who have temporary or permanent physical, learning, sensory, health, or psychological disabilities. 

First-Year students will attend five St. Olaf Orientation to Academics and Resources (SOAR) sessions throughout the semester to assist them in their transition to college. Recent SOAR sessions covered campus resources, stress management, loneliness, and time management. Later this month, students will be learning how to prepare for their advising meeting for registration and about how sleep affects their performance (academic, athletics, mental health, etc.)
