Academic Support Center

The Academic Support Center (ASC) is an important function of Academic Services. The mission of the ASC is to work in conjunction with a tutor and/or faculty member to provide positive academic support beyond basic classroom instruction for each student.

The ASC offers a variety of learning options for all students. The center provides instruction in academic areas through the following methods:

• Individual tutoring in a variety of subjects
• Group tutoring by tutors and faculty members
• Computer assisted instruction (computer lab)
• Electronics Workbench
• Basic skills information

The tutors in the ASC are full time students who work as part-time tutors. Each tutor must hold at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA and exhibit a strong understanding of course materials. Students receive assistance from staff members who have taken the courses they are tutoring. Some tutors have applicable work experience and hold college degrees from other institutions.

The ASC services are offered free of charge for enrolled students. Appointments ensure that a tutor is available to help you and are therefore encouraged.  Appointments may be scheduled in person by calling the ASC or via email. Tutoring appointments may be scheduled up to a week in advance. Walk-in appointments will be accepted provided a tutor is available for instruction in the requested subject. Special appointments can be made by notifying the ASC desk staff 48 hours in advance of the desired time. All efforts will be made to accommodate special requests, but there are no guarantees that compliance will occur.

ASC hours of operation are: Monday - Friday 9:00a.m.-8:00p.m. and Saturday 11:00a.m.-3:00pm.
