Tutoring Resources
Tutoring offers every student—whether they’re struggling or excelling—an opportunity to deepen their understanding of course materials, ask questions in a low-pressure environment and learn from peers who have successfully completed the same courses. Creighton’s Office of Academic Success tutors are students who have demonstrated academic excellence and are endorsed by course instructors. They adapt their approach to each student’s learning style, clarify challenging topics and help build confidence and independent learning skills. A range of free tutoring options is available, including support for specific courses, to help students reinforce their knowledge, prepare for exams and grow as learners.
If you’re a current Creighton student, you can schedule an appointment. If you have questions about tutoring or would like to request support for a specific class, please email the Office of Academic Success staff. You can also apply to become a student tutor through Handshake; just use the search term “student tutor.”

Productivity sessions
These supervised one-hour sessions provide structured, dedicated independent study time for students seeking a focused environment. Sessions include guided check-ins and checkouts to support progress and accountability through the practice of body doubling. Reflective practices also help students stay motivated, learn more about their study habits and refine their approach for greater success.
Study spaces
Sometimes a quiet dedicated space is all a student needs to promote effective studying. That’s why Creighton offers study spaces on campus that can be reserved for individual or small-group studying. Students at both our Omaha and Phoenix campuses can view available study spaces and reserve them.

Programs and Workshops
Creighton offers a variety of programs and workshops designed to help students build confidence and strengthen the skills needed to reach their academic goals. Through interactive, engaging formats, these sessions provide practical tools and strategies that extend beyond classroom learning and support success in a rigorous academic environment. Topics may include mastering time management, developing effective study habits, understanding how learning works and more.
Academic Advising
Academic advising at Creighton is a coordinated, relationship-based experience designed to support students from their first semester through graduation. As students progress in their academic journey, advising is aligned with their major or graduate program, with faculty advisors in their college guiding:
- Course selection and registration
- Academic planning and degree progress
- Exploration of interests and long-term goals
This work is supported by the Center for Advising Resources and Support, which helps students navigate their options, connect with the right advisors and get the support they need at every stage.
In addition to faculty advising within each major, Creighton offers structured support through the Ratio Studiorum Program for first-year students and dedicated pre-professional advising for those pursuing careers in fields such as law and healthcare. Together, these layers give students the guidance they need to:
- Plan their coursework with intention
- Explore potential career paths
- Make informed decisions about what comes next
Ratio Studiorum Program
The Ratio Studiorum Program (RSP) is Creighton’s distinctive, course-based approach to first-year advising. All first-year students enroll in this one-credit course, taught by a faculty advisor who serves as both instructor and mentor. Through RSP, students are introduced to Creighton’s Jesuit, values-centered approach to education while developing the skills and habits needed for academic success.
More than an introduction to campus resources, RSP provides structured, ongoing advising during a student’s first year (and often beyond). Students work closely with their faculty advisor to build an academic plan, explore majors and career interests, and reflect on their goals and sense of purpose. The program also fosters a close-knit community, giving students a strong sense of connection as they start their Creighton experience.
