Academic Resources
All Moravian students will work closely with an academic advisor who can provide support, feedback, and advice as they work toward academic, professional, and personal goals. All students are assigned an advisor when they begin their studies, but most students will change advisors when they declare a major. Advisors can and will help with course sequence planning, but they should also be a resource for students for a variety of academic and professional career planning needs.
Academic Advising staff work closely with faculty advisors across departments and schools to help meet the needs of students in all phases of University life but also work closely with staff in related offices to help students onboard, progress, and graduate.
Academic Support offers a range of services for students, including peer-to-peer tutoring; academic coaching; writing and math assistance; and more. Our tutoring is free, unlimited, and available to both undergraduate and graduate students across all disciplines.
The primary purpose of the Office of Disability and Accommodations (ODA) is to work with students to identify and remove possible barriers to their education. The ODA provides accommodations according to ADA law while also offering support and guidance in foundational skills such as communication skills and self-advocacy.
Faculty members are encouraged to refer students to Academic Support through an alert in Navigate. Options for support might include the development of a support plan, facilitating connections with relevant tutors, study skill or time management instruction, and/or communicating with a student's academic advisor.
Students who disclose a disability (either temporary or permanent) that could be impacting their coursework should be referred to the Office of Disability and Accommodations.
Faculty issue midterm grades at the midpoint of each fall and spring semester. The midterm grade is intended to provide students with an indication of their overall performance in the class. Grades of S (Satisfactory), U (Unsatisfactory), or F (Failing) may be issued. Students should consult with individual course faculty for more information about the midterm grade and to discuss strategies for improvement, if needed.
Located at the heart of North campus, Reeves Library provides resources, research assistance, and space for group work or quiet study. All Moravian students have access to online and print resources in support of their research. Additionally, access to library materials nationally and internationally is available through interlibrary loan. Reference librarians are available in person or remotely for one-on-one assistance.
Located on the second floor of Zinzendorf Hall, the Writing Center is staffed by Moravian students trained to consult on writing projects of various forms including research papers, lab reports, video essays, podcasts, and more. The writing may be at any stage of development, from rough notes to finished drafts. Writing Center Consultants work closely with students to help them recognize their strengths as writers, diagnose mechanical and grammatical problems, and improve skills. A collection of handbooks, rhetorics, and other writing reference works is available for study and browsing. Students can reserve both in-person and online appointments via the Writing Center's scheduling platform . In the case of in-person appointments, students can request to either meet in Zinzendorf Hall or Reeves Library. The staff will accommodate walk-ins if possible, but appointments are recommended. Call the center at 610-861-1592 for more information.
Located on the third floor of the Sally Briedegam Miksiewicz Center for Health Sciences, the Quantitative Resource Center is available for students seeking support in various 100-level Math and Quantitative courses across the undergraduate curriculum.
