Welcome to the Academic Resource Center

The Academic Resource Center (A.R.C.) is committed to providing a comprehensive academic support system for a diverse student body in all four undergraduate colleges.

• Academic counseling. Academic counselors meet with students regarding individual academic needs. Counseling may include helping them with time management and other study skills, working with them regarding selection of majors, assisting them with scheduling issues, and helping them navigate the university system.

• Bridge Program. The Bridge Program is a comprehensive 5-week summer session for entering freshmen and transfer students. Students take two 3-credit hour Common Curriculum classes taught by select faculty members. Students also take a 1-credit hour Protocols of Learning class and receive individualized attention through regular meetings with Academic Counselors.

  and help with course assignments.
