Academic Success Center - Columbus
The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides many services for students. These include on-campus tutoring, online tutoring, computer lab and computer assistance, and the academic skill builder workshop.
Tutoring is a free service to our students. Our tutors have knowledge in specific subjects and will act as a learning resource for you. They will help you review and study what you've learned in class. One-on-one and group tutoring is available in selected subjects.
We are also seeking students who want to become tutors. If you have an above average grade in a specific course and want to help others learn, then you may qualify. Our tutors are paid and set their own hours with individual students or study groups.
Online Tutoring
Tutoring and writing coach assistance are available through 00CCC Your Guide To CCC on Webcentral for online students or students unable to travel to a campus, as well as on campus students. These services are available every term – spring, summer and fall. Students and tutors will work together to determine the best way to conduct these tutoring services, whether it is through email and/or telephone correspondence or WebEx meetings. Please contact any Academic Success Center to inquire about online tutoring.

In this effort, a former student who has excelled in the area attends the class and then offers additional teaching sessions to students. These sessions are held at times that accommodate student schedules like weekends, evenings, etc. Currently, these sessions are offered for students enrolled in the following courses: structure and function I and II, physiology I and II, and calculus.
