Tips for Introducing the ASC to Your Classes
The ASC directors encourage instructors to introduce ASC services to their students early in the semester. Below are three activities that instructors can use to promote the ASC in their classes and to encourage meaningful participation by their students.

Although we want students to be familiar with our center locations, we prefer that instructors not bring their entire classes on ASC tours or assign scavenger hunt activities in which students are expected to collect signatures and brochures from each center. We have found that class visits to the centers disrupt the tutoring experience for our clients, and participation in scavenger hunt activities is often difficult to verify.  

Activity 1:  Worksheet for Ensuring a Meaningful ASC Experience
Encouraging your students to use our centers for the reasons they exist is the best possible option for familiarizing your students with the ASC. Use this worksheet (PDF) to encourage a meaningful ASC tutoring experience for your students and to verify their participation.

Activity 2:  The ASC Virtual Tour
Take your students on a virtual tour of the ASC by visiting success.wcu.edu in class. You might consider asking your students to complete additional ‘research’ by visiting the individual Success Center websites.

Activity 3:  The ASC Experience Workshop
Invite a representative from the centers to engage your students in a 50-minute workshop designed to explore the Success Centers’ services. Contact Nory Prochaska (prochske@email.wcu.edu) to schedule this workshop.
