The mission of the Foundations Program is to guide freshmen and transfer students in the clarification of their academic goals and in the development of educational plans and skills necessary for realizing those goals. The Academic Services Staff provides advisor orientation support and matches students with advisors. Sophomores, juniors and seniors are assigned faculty curriculum advisors within their degree department. The ASC is a new approach to our tutoring services, meant to provide a wider variety of support to our students. The ASC is primarily staffed by top Kettering students who are able to help students in all freshmen and sophomore level courses and many upper level courses.
Students have access to tutors approximately sixty hours per week.
The ASC can hold up to 50 students at one time in an environment conducive to learning. The Center includes eight computers, five of which are part of a new writing lab where a writing tutor is staffed part time. No appointments are necessary and tutoring is available to all students at no cost. Schedules are posted in the display outside of the ASC, by the Academic Services Office, Room 3-322 AB, and on the Tutor Homepage. Private tutoring is available for students who meet certain requirements set by the Academic Services Office and is restricted by the availability of tutors.
