The mission of the Academic Resource Center (ARC) is to provide academic support and resources that enhance instructional programs. The ARC is located on the main level of the Informational Technology Center. Tutoring services are provided by both staff and peer tutors. Peer tutors are required to have at least a 3.000 GPA, recommendations from instructors, and a recent transcript showing competency in the subject(s) to be tutored.
The ARC staff and peer tutors provide individual and group tutoring for LSTC general education classes, which include the following: mathematics, algebra, calculus, trigonometry, communications, environmental science, physics, American history, American government, writing, Intro to Microcomputers, and Job Search Strategies. Students may come to the ARC for individual assistance with any LSTC mathematics, science, or writing assignment, including resume preparation.
During each semester, the ARC offers Study Skills Seminars for LSTC students. These seminars support the study skills necessary to succeed in college. Seminar topics may include note-taking, test-taking, time management, and procrastination.
The ARC includes individual and group study areas and computers equipped with current Microsoft software. Accommodations for students with Individualized Education Plans are supported by ARC staff members. ARC staff members also provide mentoring for international students.
