The ASC provides a calm, welcoming, friendly and safe atmosphere for students to receive academic support from trained professionals. The goal of the ASC is to provide a personalized learning experience for students as they move toward becoming successful, independent learners. Interventions specialists are also located in the ASC and available to meet with students receiving an Accommodation Plan.
