CLUE
The Center for Learning and Undergraduate Enrichment (CLUE) is a free late-night study center. It is designed to provide supplementary educational opportunities for and enhance the academic achievement of all UW undergraduates. The program places a strong emphasis on creating a rich learning community while supporting freshmen, sophomore, and transfer students who are enrolled in many of the UW’s crucial lower-division courses.
CLUE services include drop-in help sessions for subjects like chemistry, math, biology, writing, economics, and foreign languages; evening discussion and review sessions with TAs and fellow students; exam reviews for a variety of courses; and study skills workshops to help students improve academic preparation and performance.
Computing Resources
UW students have access to computers, email, the Internet (in campus labs or from home), MyUW, and other online resources, training, and Web services for publishing. You don’t need to buy your own computer, although it’s recommended. Regardless of your major or future career plans, learning how to navigate campus computing resources—and to make the most of them—will be a significant part of your UW education.
Educational Opportunity Program
EOP provides educational opportunity and creates greater cultural diversity within the University. The program is open to underrepresented minority students from American Indian, Native American, African-American, Hispanic, and Asian/Pacific Islander backgrounds, and to economically disadvantaged students of all ethnicities whose parents do not have 4-year college degrees. EOP services include academic and personal counseling, advocacy and support with financial aid and housing, placement testing, academic tutoring, and special instruction.
Libraries
The University of Washington Libraries received the 2004 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award , which recognizes the top university research library in the country. UW Libraries rank 14th among North American research libraries. Here are some more numbers: 5.9 million volumes, 6.9 million items in microform, and more than 50,000 periodical titles. Impressive, but what does all of this mean to you? Simple: the chance to explore to the fullest extent of your interest and imagination. And in the process, you’ll be acquiring valuable skills for navigating and analyzing information. There’s no more important skill in the 21st century.
