If there is a Dean of First Year Students, that would be an excellent place to start. On almost every campus there are tutoring services and centers for study habits, etc. Other options are the Dean of Students and meetings at office hours with individual professors. The school wants your son to succeed. The RA should know such things, but will be less sophisticated, more attuned to social issues. By all means, he should rally all the troops he can. He will need his computer, but he should loose the games! Time management and newly needed study habits are core issues. The advantage to meeting with professors is the opportunity to make personal contact, perhaps fostering some mentoring instincts. Good luck to your son. He needs to get after this tomorrow, no later.
