Freshmen are assigned a pre-major dean. If you think a student is struggling with the transition to Duke or other personal issues, the pre-major dean can help figure out how to proceed. It’s also a liaison between the academic deans and the CAPS psychological counseling.

Students can make an appointment online with trained writing tutors. Tutors will work with students on papers-in-progress on every stage of the process- from the brainstorming or conceptual stage, all the way through polishing and editing. Students can request that the tutor send you a brief overview on what they worked on, so that you can pay attention to that aspect in the final paper. You can request for the Writing Studio to send someone to your class at the beginning of the semester to give your students an overview on what kind of help they provide.
