New or Need a Refresher to the Academic Skills Center?
Faculty & Staff are encouraged to start by viewing our Welcome to the ASC video for an overview of services, programs, and how students engage with our office.
Additional information about the ASC mission, services, and history can be found on our ASC Overview page.
Faculty & Staff are often the first to recognize when a student may be struggling academically. Early conversations can help students connect with support before challenges become more significant.
When speaking with students, consider normalizing academic support:
"Many students benefit from connecting with the Academic Skills Center. They can work with an Academic Coach or attend tutoring and programs that focus on study strategies, time management, reading techniques, and exam preparation."
The ASC works with students across a wide range of academic experiences, from those seeking enrichment and stronger study strategies to those navigating academic difficulties.
One-on-one meetings with professional staff focused on:
Faculty-partnered, peer-led course-specific tutoring designed to support student learning.
Interactive workshops and weekly programming offered throughout the academic year that address academic success strategies and learning development.
Credit-bearing Wellness Education courses that teach learning strategies, academic skills, and effective use of campus resources.
The ASC welcomes opportunities to collaborate with faculty & staff members, departments, and programs.
Examples of collaboration include:

The ASC maintains a collection of learning resources, worksheets, and guides that faculty & staff are welcome to share with students. Topics include study strategies, time management, reading techniques, note-taking, exam preparation, and other academic skills. The site also connects students with a broad range of academic support resources.
Supporting students is a collaborative effort. The ASC works alongside many offices across Dartmouth that contribute to student learning, wellness, and success.
Faculty & Staff seeking support for a particular student situation may also find it helpful to connect students with relevant campus resources. The ASC campus partners and resources page includes information about partner offices and services available across campus.
