We also monitor your academic progress by liaising with your professors and the Dean’s Office.

Evening Study Sessions: Partnering with Residence Life, the ASP offers peer tutoring in the dorms at night. We also work closely with the campus tutoring center and can provide individual tutoring on an as needed basis.

Connections to other campus resources: Benefit from the collaboration that the ASP has with other campus programs, organizations, departments and students enabling you to feel connected to the network of services and programs that the college has to offer.

Work-Study: During the semester, students can apply to become part of the ASP work-study team. A small group of students is selected and trained to assist with various ASP projects and events and serve as peer leaders for the new incoming class.
