How You Can Support the ASC
- Please promote the Academic Success Centers' services in your classes without making visits a requirement for the entire class. While we support your efforts to improve student learning, we have found that students who are required en masse to make appointments are not engaged clients. Furthermore, demand for appointments often exceeds the number of available times, especially at midterm and end of the semester. We want to keep slots open for students who initiate and commit to using our services. Please contact the center director if your entire class is in need of a center's services or if you have a specific student(s) whom you think would benefit.
- Offer extra credit for attending a tutoring session by requiring students to produce evidence of participation rather than attendance alone.
- Learn the details of your students' visits by checking TutorTrac.
- Encourage struggling students to make standing weekly appointments with the same tutor.
- Send students who have succeeded in your classes and expressed an interest in tutoring to us. We rely on your recommendations when we hire tutors.
