ASC Student Referrals

Are you teaching students that have considerable skill gaps in the areas of math, science, or writing? Has a student been away for several classes, and needs to catch up on the content they missed? Do you teach math, accounting, science or communications, and wish integrate an ASC referral pathway into your class?  If so, connecting your students with an ASC tutor or academic coach is now only a few clicks away.

On this page you will find information about the ASC's current referral types, as well as instructions for how to refer students in your classes to the ASC for tutoring or academic coaching supports.

Upon referral, students will be invited to meet with ASC staff for course tutoring, writing support, English language support or academic coaching depending on the student needs identified in the referral, and the ASC resources available.

Customized referral pathways for your course can be requested by contacting Chris Harder, Tutoring Services Supervisor.
