Academic Success Center Services

Academic Tutoring

• Academic tutors mainly work on class specific subject material.
• Most academic tutors support freshmen and sophomore level courses.
• Academic tutors are students who are trained by the Director of the Academic Success Center and recommended by staff or faculty.
• Students may sign up for tutoring appointments via the Academic Coaching Schedule in the WC Online website
• Students looking for support in a course but are unable to find a tutor on the WC Online tutoring website should seek support through tutor.com

Academic Coaching

• Academic coaches support students in improving soft skills to succeed.

• Group meetings and walk in meetings are available upon request. Check this page and social media for advertisements on walk in academic coaching.
• Students may sign up for these meetings via the Academic Coaching Schedule in the WC Online tutoring website

Mentorship and Adaptability Program (MAP)

• The MAP provides incoming freshmen with an opportunity to work with an upper class mentor. The program is designed to welcome freshmen to campus and encourage students engage with their peers, as well as other offices on campus.
• MAP mentors are trained in the same manner as academic coaches, but work with specific coordinators to organize events. Some events like our well known UNO tournament are simply to build social relationships, but others like our academic coaching meetings offer a strategic academic approach to what college success looks like.
• Students will notice emails and social media posts from the ASC and the Office of Student Engagement about events and opportunities in this program.
• This webpage will be updated with information about future events and opportunities.
