ASC Tutoring
Introduction
The ASC offers campus-wide tutoring to serve all UNLV undergraduate students at no additional charge through in-person tutoring labs and online tutoring. Our in-person tutoring sessions are facilitated by current UNLV students who have completed the supported courses with a grade of “B” or better and are recommended by partnering academic faculty. The sessions offer:
- Structured study time with peers
- Reviews of subject material
- Learning strategies to gain a deeper understanding of supported course content.
If you know someone who would benefit from ASC tutoring, complete our referral form to be contacted by a member of our team.
- All students must adhere to the ASC Tutoring Lab Policies and Procedures.
- Students seeking services through drop-in labs must also adhere to the ASC Tutoring Agreement for Drop-In Labs.
- ASC tutoring can assist students with formative assessments only within the learning process. But, to uphold the academic honesty code of conduct, students are strictly prohibited from receiving assistance for summative assessments such as quizzes and exams.
- ASC tutoring does not provide support for exam readiness in the case of assessments such as the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Dental Admission Test (DAT), Praxis, and so on.
- It's important to note that this exception does not pertain to the ALEKS Placement, Preparation, and Learning (ALEKS PPL) exam. We do offer assistance for ALEKS.
