Academic Support

Academic Advising
The mission of the advising team at ÐÔÊÓ½ç is to provide guidance to students with the goal of obtaining a degree. We strive to ensure that students have the necessary information in their academic progress and registration, while supporting each student through their personal and spiritual journey. Our goal is to see each student through as they complete their educational goals. Advising is a collaborative educational process in which students and their advisors are partners in meeting the essential learning outcomes, ensuring student academic success, and outlining the steps for achievement of the students’ personal, academic, and career goals. This advisor/student partnership requires participation and involvement of both the advisor and the student as it is built over the student’s entire educational experience at the ÐÔÊÓ½ç. Both the student and the advisor have clear responsibilities for ensuring the advising partnership is successful (NACADA, 2004). Advisors have created for quick, online information for students.
Regional Campus Tutors

One-on-one tutoring is available to students for writing assignments across all disciplines. Writing tutors are available on-site at each regional campus during select evening hours. Students may schedule appointments or drop in during the hours posted at the regional campus’ front desk. Sessions are 30-50 minutes long, and are available by appointment or drop-in service. Tutors will work with students as many times as needed, in all stages of the writing process, to help with development, organization and clarity. While tutors assist with writing processes, they do not provide guaranteed proofreading services.

Subject matter tutors (general education level mathematics, sciences and Spanish) are available on the main campus in the Academic Support Center from 9am to 4pm only, and online Math tutoring is also available.

ETS Criterion: Online writing evaluation

Every DC student has a subscription to ETS Criterion, where they may obtain 24/7 support with essay construction, development and editing through an automated service. To learn more about ETS Criterion, contact your regional campus writing tutor.
