Where can I get help?
Physics Undergraduate Advisor
Dr. Kevin Graham
Physics majors can contact him for help with course selection.
Physics Drop-in Centre
A drop-in resource staffed by physics graduate students. Any student who needs help with physics courses can use the Centre at no charge.
Physics Tutors
The Department of Physics manages requests for tutoring, and pairs up students with graduate students. Contact the departmental administrator, Physics.Undergrad [at] cunet.carleton.ca (Joanne Martin), for further information. Tutoring is not a free service.
SSSC Mentors
If you would like to talk about specific study habits and methods, SSSC mentors can help you. Feel free to drop in or make an appointment on mySuccess (Access MySuccess through Carleton360) and click on Science Student Success Centre. Find a Physics mentor by searching for Physics at Meet Our Mentors.
