Academic Resource Center

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) offers tutoring, writing assistance, testing, EQUIP, and the Act 101 Program. 

At the Tutoring Center, a staff of supervised peer tutors assists currently enrolled traditional undergraduate students with coursework, study skills, test preparation, and time management. NetTutor is provided for online and graduate students.

The Writing Center is staffed by trained peer writing assistants dedicated to helping students improve their writing across all courses and in any subject area.

The Disability Accommodations Testing Center provides a proctored, distraction-reduced environment for students with approved testing accommodations. Students may request accommodations through the Office of Disability and Access.

Academic Coaching helps students achieve their academic goals and enhance their overall college experience. It involves one-on-one sessions with a trained academic coach who provides guidance, support, and strategies tailored to the student's individual needs.

The EQUIP pre-college summer program helps selected entering students bridge the gaps between high school and college. (Students typically enter EQUIP upon referral by the Admissions Department.)

The Act 101 Program (PA Higher Education Equal Opportunity Program) supports motivated Pennsylvania residents with certain academic and financial needs by providing a special program of academic and personal support. Entrance into Act 101 is by invitation after a student is determined to be eligible.
