Academic Help Center
Welcome to the Student Academic Resources Toolbox!
Albright College provides students with many offices dedicated to student academic success. This Toolbox was created for students to provide a centralized location for these offices’ academic support resources and to briefly familiarize students with these many offices and their services. Some of these resources apply across all academic years, while others are limited to the current academic year, and the toolbox has them organized by those categories under each office’s drop down menu.
In order to explore these offices and their services more deeply, or if the resource in question cannot be found in the toolbox, follow the links below to each office’s individual webpage to learn more and to access their contact information.

Gingrich Library – Your Success Is Why We’re Here!
Indeed, student success is why we are here. The staff gives highest priority to helping students develop critical research skills.

Librarians are always ready to answer questions and help students find materials and reference assistance is available 24/7 through the College’s participation in the Chat with a Librarian service.
