Resources for ECON students
The UVic students’ site is your source for student supports across campus.
Department policies are guided by the academic calendar, particularly the section on undergraduate academic regulations.
Economics tutoring
Do you need help with your course work?
You should first go to your instructor and teaching assistant (TA). TAs are graduate students hired to help instructors. It’s their job to help prepare course material, grade assignments, conducting labs and hold office hours to help.
If you’re registered in ECON 103 or ECON 104 you can go to the Help Centre in BEC 341. It’s run by TAs and hours vary each term. Check the schedule posted outside the room.
Forms
Course-related forms are processed by different offices:
- The Department of Economics
- The Academic Advising Office
- The Office of the Registrar
The Forms page provides guidance on which form to fill out for various requests and which office to submit them to.
