Academic Resource Center

Welcome Everyone! 

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) is an inclusive space that provides academic support services for all students.

We value education rooted in teaching and learning that is collaborative, welcoming, and inclusive. We are guided by a coaching model that appreciates every student's unique strengths, as well as their capacity and desire to learn. Our mission is to provide a supportive environment in which students can fully access all aspects of their education, develop self-advocacy, and cultivate a foundation for lifelong learning and professional success.

Building A Collaborative and Supportive Campus

The ARC welcomes all students, supporting them in achieving their academic best. By partnering with faculty and the campus community, the ARC seeks to help students personalize their learning environment and processes.

As a result of ARC services, students:

• Gain confidence in their ability to pursue their academic goals.
• Maintain progress toward degree completion.
• Develop the capacity to communicate their needs and advocate for effective support.
