The Academic Success Center (ASC)

The mission of the Academic Success Center (ASC) is to facilitate learning by providing support services that enable students to succeed in their academic performance. Some of the services we offer are:

• • Peer (student to student) tutoring to support all students in the development of skills necessary for their effective performance in the college learning environment. The ASC serves as a tutoring center, staffed by one or more tutors several hours a night during the week. Tutoring is also available on an on-call basis for times when the ASC is not open. Check the Tutor Program tab on Navigator for more information.

  • Accommodation for students with documented learning disabilities. The ASC assists these students in obtaining reasonable accommodation for their learning needs. Contact Raju Kunjummen or Erica Ortiz for more information.

  • Proctored testing for exams taken at a time other than during the regularly scheduled class period. Check the Testing Policy tab on Navigator for more information.
