If you need help in another subject please ASK! Tutors can also assist with creating flash cards and study guides, reviewing notes and test preparation!
If you would like to host a study hall in the ASC or schedule a study group for a specific course please contact the ASC Director.
During/after a tutoring session, peer tutors and tutoring clients complete a “Tutor Contact Form.” The Tutoring Center collects data from these forms and then provides a copy of the form to each instructor. Student Support Services also collects and maintains copies of forms for program participants.
The ASC is staffed by the ASC Director and peer tutors. Student Support Services (a federal TRIO grant) and the ASC are co-located. This co-location allows the ASC to be open for around 60 hours a week. The ASC and SSS program work hard to maintain this level of service to students.
To further assist students, online peer tutoring is available by appointment only. Students can also take advantage of "Net Tutor" located within Canvas.
The ASC hosts “Living Room Conversations." For more information about Living Room Conversations, check out www.livingroomconversations.org
Monthly seminars are also hosted in AC 132 or in other areas of campus. Topics include: notes, reading textbooks, memory, using visualization in notes and more! Seminars are scheduled at various times to try and accommodate students but any department, activity or sport can request a seminar for study hall or as an activity for students.
