How can students make the most out of our academic support resources?
By not being afraid to ask for help! Learning to learn and study outside of the classroom is different and we can help you!
SASC houses many (not all) of the tutoring and academic support resources.
Tutoring is offered in both scheduled, weekly sessions and walk-in centers are offered for many high demand, high challenge courses.
Point out that many students hesitate to use resources (dispel myths that tutoring is just for failing students)
Academic Coaching is also available. Students can work individually with a coach to discuss time management strategies, college level study skills and test taking skills. (often parents have listed time management and studying as concerns in the poll – so bringing that back in here is a good tie-in.)
All academic support is Free for all students
The Writing Center is also a great resource that is provided for students and is operated out of the WRT department.
