Student Academic Support

Academic Support Center

The Academic Support Center’s (ASC) purpose is to provide support services for students of all abilities, but especially for those who need assistance making the transition to higher education. We are committed to enhancing students’ academic potential through peer tutoring, learning skills instruction, and academic advising. Our goal is to coach students toward reaching their academic goals by building self-advocacy and self-awareness skills so that they can achieve academic success.

Tutoring Services

Graduate students at the Martinsburg Center who require special assistance with a particular subject should contact the course instructor and graduate program coordinator, who in conjunction with the Dean of Graduate Studies will arrange for assistance from the course instructor, a peer tutor, or other outside tutor. Please note that this service may involve additional fees.

Undergraduate students at the Martinsburg Center students should see their academic advisor as the starting point for services.
