Undergraduate Student Resources

The Department of Statistics and the broader university offer academic, funding and professional development resources to make the student experience as supportive and enjoyable as possible.

Peer Tutoring

Peer tutoring is offered free of charge for students enrolled in STAT 1051, 1053, 1111, 2112 and 2118. All tutoring sessions are held in Phillips Hall Room 741. No appointments are needed, and students can just walk-in for these tutoring sessions. Students can also make appointments for tutoring at Academic Commons.

Transferring Credits

While the Department of Statistics allows for transfer of credits, we do not waive General Education Curriculum (G-PAC) requirements for courses taken elsewhere. This is contrary to general Columbian College transfer credit policy. Otherwise, students should follow CCAS procedures to request transfer credit approval. The process is explained in detail on the CCAS Undergraduate Academic Advising website.
