Your Academic Advisor is assigned in particular to help you with course selection, and your current professors may have useful ideas. Feedback from previous students also told us that consulting with upperclassmen especially within your intended major can sometimes be helpful.

You can request free tutors for help with your classes from the Academic Support and Enrichment Office.

Online requests can be made at http://www.denison.edu/requestatutor

For more information, please visit the Academic Support Office’s website; look for the ‘Tutoring’ tab on the left side of the page.

Yes, in fact, a lot of students do after the 1st semester. Though technically any faculty member can be your advisor, most people would choose one within their major or minor. You can also have two advisors if it’s difficult for you to decide. It is up to the student to find a new advisor and the change must be reported to the Registrar’s Office. The new advisor will need to sign the change of advisor form.

The Student Accounts Office would be happy to take your payment. Your first payment to the university must be paid prior to the first day of classes. All subsequent payments must be paid by the due date unless prior arrangements have been made with the Student Accounts Office.

The only on-campus ATM is on the 2nd floor of Slayter Hall, right next to the Bookstore. It’s with Park National Bank. If you have an account with other banks and would like to use this ATM, an ATM fee would usually be applied.

The common banks among Denison students are Park National Bank and Chase Bank. Huntington Bank and First Federal Savings & Loan are also located in Granville. They are all within walking distance from each other on Broadway in Granville downtown.

There is not a designated office for assigning students jobs. You will need to ask individual offices to see if they would hire student workers. You probably don’t want to wait long to start looking for jobs: spots get filled up fast.

One place that will get you started is the job listing in to MyDenison. After login, look under the ‘Student’ tab.

Students work in administrative and departmental offices, Mitchell Sports Center, the Library, Computing Services, in labs, as tutors, in the dining halls, etc. It is often best to apply in person though some offices have online applications. There is much competition for campus jobs ~ try not to get discouraged, just keep asking!  

Always try to work it out with your roommate in person or talk to your Resident Assistant (RA) first. If you still believe only changing the room could solve the issue, you’ll have to go to the Residential Life Office and do it with proper paper work. It typically depends on the availability of vacant rooms. At the beginning of the semester, there is a two week room freeze after which you can change locations depending on availability. There are very few single rooms and there is an extra charge.

Residential Life Office is located on the 1st floor of Doane Building. Phone extension: 6271

You can also report your problem through the Service Request Form, which is also available under "Campus Resources" on MyDenison.
