Tutoring Support Services

Instructional Services provides a variety of academic assistance through several resources including:

• Study groups
• Resource centers
• Peer tutoring

Study Groups

Study groups are established at the request of the course instructor and offer students the opportunity to review course content with their peers as they are guided by a specially-trained study group monitor.

Resource Centers

Three resource centers are available to provide specialized assistance during scheduled hours:

• The Communication Resource Center (CRC) provides writing and speaking assistance
• The Daniel M Soref Science and Mathematics Resource Center (Soref Center) offers math and science support
• The Academic Nursing Resource Center (ANRC) serves students enrolled in nursing coursework

Peer Tutoring
