The Accessibility and Accommodations Team at Yorkville University should be contacted in the event that you require academic accommodations for a variety of reasons, included but not limited to barriers to access due to disability or faith-based accommodations, in both classroom and testing settings. The Accessibility and Accommodations Team supplies a list of some but not all accommodations for accessibility on their website, as well as a list of resources that may help reduce technology-created access barriers. You can consult these resources here, contact them by email for more information, or book a confidential appointment through PHIPA-compliant software.
Program Advisors are the first line of communication for students. They are always available to provide resources and information to assist with any challenges students may be faced with in their courses. They can explain your plan of study and provide options that will help with work-life balance. If you are experiencing challenges, speak to your program advisor.
You can get in touch by phone by going to the following pages:
Alternatively, submit your question/request via AskYU and your advisor will get in contact with you.
There are three types of guides at YU:
Program Pages are guides that specifically focus on a program of study at YU, whether it is the BBA, the MACP, or another of the many programs YU offers! These guides offer links to reference sources, link to helpful eBooks in the library catalog, and share resources that will be helpful to students as they navigate their program. If you are searching the LibGuides site by type, these will appear in the Subject Guides.
General guides provide information on mostly broadly applicable academic skills; for example, the Research 101 guide will help students in all programs develop online research skills that will help them answer DQs and find material for their papers.
Learning Pathways are more specific than the other two types of guides. These step-by-step guides will lead students through a particular assignment, or type of assignment, from beginning to end. They may also address other step-by-step learning opportunities, like troubleshooting library access issues. If you are searching the LibGuides site by type, these will appear in the Topic Guides.
The guides in the list below are particularly helpful guides for new students at YU looking to familiarize themselves with library services, the online library and its databases (as well as how to search in them!), and APA 7, the mandatory citation style at YU.
