Weingarten Center

Parents and family members are often the first to hear about students’ academic challenges and stress surrounding assignments and exams. The Weingarten Center houses three central University services that support the academic lives of Penn’s undergraduate and graduate students. All Weingarten Center services and programs are free and confidential.

Academic Support

Academic Support helps students expand University-relevant study strategies to meet the academic challenges that accompany the many opportunities to learn and grow intellectually. Professional instruction in academic reading, writing, study strategies, and time/project management is available through individual appointments. Group instruction is also available through workshops that address the needs and interests of specific groups of students. A signature workshop series, Mastering the Ivy League, is held each fall for first-year students. The Fresh Start workshop series is held each spring semester.

Tutoring Services

Tutoring Services offers Penn undergraduate students free, accessible, and convenient options to supplement their academic experience. Academic Support focuses on academic skill building, whereas Tutoring Services offers a way for students to get assistance in course content. Tutoring comes in a variety of formats ranging from a weekly appointment with an assigned tutor to drop-in tutoring services.

Disability Services

Disability Services helps self-identified students with disabilities access equal opportunities in all academic and University-sponsored programs. Professional staff work with individual students to transition from high school to Penn. The staff evaluates documentation, determines reasonable accommodations, and provides information and disabilityrelated assistance. Disability Services promotes the mission of access and inclusion for students with disabilities.
