The graduate statistics studio provides research and statistical consulting to all graduate students.

Our consultants will be back in the studios starting Starting Monday, August 26, 2024.

You can also email us if you would like us to set up an appointment for you or if you have any questions.
Appointment Information:
We are happy to meet with you when you come into the Graduate Student Success Center. Please note, in person appointments are available as long as they are between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Any appointments avaialble outside those hours will be conducted virtually via Zoom.
Every hour the Graduate Statistics Studio is open may be considered a "drop-in" time. Students often do not use all 50 minutes of a session, and there are occasionally students who fail to show up for scheduled appointments.
Zoom is an online meeting and conferencing platform that allows for audio, video, and screen sharing. It is an easy to use and high quality solution for those students who, due to distance and time constraints, are unable to physically meet with statistics consultants. If you would like more information about Zoom, please visit their website: www.zoom.us.
In the Graduate Statistics Studio, we are utilizing Zoom for one-on-one virtual statistics consultations. We are implementing “Zoom only” and “Zoom hybrid” sessions. “Zoom only” sessions use the audio, video, and screen sharing features. “Zoom hybrid” sessions use the screen sharing features of Zoom along with audio via a traditional phone line. The hybrid session accommodates students who may not have a microphone-enabled computer. In this instance, the student can dial into the ZOOM meeting via phone using a phone number provided by the consultant.

1. Log into Zoom through Fresno State: https://fresnostate.zoom.us click on sign
