For virtual and on campus trainings by the College's vendor representatives, see the following schedules:
First and foremost, if you are struggling on an assignment, start by contacting your professor or visiting their office hours. Since that professor will be the person grading the assignment, they are in the best position to provide guidance on how you can successfully complete it.
Before seeking any additional help, check your syllabus and confirm with your professor that you may do so. Under Article IV, Section B.2 of the Moritz College of Law Honor Code, a professor may prohibit students from seeking or receiving any "aid or assistance" on their coursework.
This restriction is particularly common in first year legal writing courses, where students are learning how to structure a piece of legal writing, how to self-assess their work, and how to incorporate and build upon their professor's feedback.
