EconAid Center
The EconAid Center provides free, drop-in tutoring with undergraduate peer tutors, for students in the core economics courses (101, 400, 410, and 420) as well as select upper-division economics courses. It is also a space for professors, TAs, and ULAs to hold office hours and help sessions as well as a general study space for economics students. Please check the schedule below to see when help will be available for your course. The center opens on the first day of class and closes on the last day of exams.
