Office of Academic Assistance & Student Support Services
Students may contact the academic assistance coordinator for assistance in further developing their academic skills. This includes such areas as study skills, note-taking skills, time management, test-taking skills, and other skills that help students succeed academically. Study skills videos that help improve reading, writing, and math are available. The coordinator will help a student engage an individual tutor, if one is available, but payment is the responsibility of the student.

Services for Students with Disabilities
It is the goal of John Brown University that all enrolled students be given equal opportunity to succeed in their quest for a higher education that is based upon our “Christ Over All” philosophy and that integrates the educational principles of “Head, Heart, and Hand.” In accordance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the ADAA, John Brown University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to students who are disabled.

Counseling Services
(JBU) Subsidized Counseling for JBU Online Undergraduate Students: Students who are currently enrolled full-time in online undergraduate classes are eligible to receive JBU-subsidized counseling services at counseling practices that have agreements with JBU in place. Counseling is for the purpose of helping the students work through personal concerns that might otherwise make continuing their education more of a challenge.
