Overview

The Academy Resource Center (ARC) offers remedial tutoring to qualifying Academy of Art University students from all majors and in all courses, both onsite (campus) and online. All students who qualify for this free service are encouraged to take advantage of tutoring to help them with their classes and assignments.

Individual and group tutoring are available to students (both graduate and undergraduate) by student request and by faculty, advisor, or coach referral. All tutoring is provided by current faculty and technical staff for 1-2 hours per week in Fall and Spring semesters and 2-4 hours per week in Summer throughout the academic year.

Students should make use of other support services before requesting tutoring. For example, students should attend onsite Department Workshops regularly to avoid falling behind. (Online workshops may not be available for all departments.)

Tutoring Criteria

Students receiving tutoring must meet one or more of the following criteria:
• Currently on Academic Probation (AP)
• Re-taking the class due to failure (grade of C– or lower) in a previous semester
• Currently receiving a grade of C– or lower in the class (Week #4 or later)*
• Documented disability (paperwork on file with Classroom Services)
• Other circumstances as approved by ARC Tutoring Director(s)

*NOTE: In Summer, since grades are not assigned until midterm, students may request tutoring at any time in the semester. In this case, tutoring will be provided at the discretion of the ARC Tutoring Director(s). For students with grades of C or higher (in any semester), request must be approved by the ARC Tutoring Director(s).
