Studiosity - 24hr Online Study Help

Avondale University supports you with free 24-hour online study help.

It’s important not to struggle or stress over a problem for too long by yourself. We understand that not everyone can get to on-campus support sessions due to busy personal (and professional) lives.

That’s why we provide free access to ‘Studiosity’ Online Study Help. It’s personalised study help, right when you need it, anytime of day or night and even on weekends.

You can upload a draft essay or assignment and get detailed, personalised feedback in less than 24 hours, or chat live with a Subject Specialist to work through a study problem right away.

You can find the Studiosity Online Study Help link on Moodle.
