The main goal of the Academic Resource
Center (ARC) is to aid students of all abilities
in becoming more effective learners.
Available to the entire Saint Mary community,
the Academic Resource Center helps students
improve their performance in the critical
academic areas of reading, writing, math, and
study skills.
The Academic Resource Center helps
students in many different ways, including:
- providing tutoring in specific subject
areas such as math, science, history, and English
- serving as a writing center, where
students can bring writing assignments,
in any stage of completion, for a conference
- providing information on Chicago, APA, and
MLA citation guides
- providing valuable tips about
how to study more effectively
- meeting the needs of students entitled to accomodations or helping students to develop college-level
writing skills
In addition to these services, the Academic
Resource Center also serves as a computer
lab. Our machines are the starting point
for
many students as they tackle a psychology
paper or set out to navigate the Internet
to collect research for a history class.
In order to assist our students in achieving
their best academically, the Academic Resource Center provides
support for students with disabilities. This office assists students with obtaining
academic accommodations. All students
who are currently enrolled at USM, who
qualify for services, need to
register their documentation with the
ARC. After
the paperwork has been evaluated, the
student, with the assistance of the Academic Resource Center,
will create a plan regarding his or her
academic needs for the semester. Students
who do not register their
paperwork and create their plan are
not eligible for academic accommodations.*
