Do you struggle with taking notes or organizing your day around classes? Maybe you use a wheelchair and have trouble navigating a crowded campus. Whatever obstacle is preventing you from reaching your highest potential, the Academic Resource Center (ARC) can help you turn that obstacle into a stepping stone.
ARC provides student support that goes beyond the classroom, meets individuals where they are and helps them achieve academic and personal goals. We equip you with the necessary tools for success. We offer a variety of academic support services and work closely with students, faculty, and staff, offering writing assistance, subject tutoring, academic recovery plans, disabilities services, and other resources.
