General Information Regarding Academic Support CentrE Services
Students attending St. Lawrence College are eligible to receive one-on-one or group tutoring through the Academic Support Centre (ASC) located in the Campus Library.
Students can book a tutor for a 30-minute or 1-hour session, in which the tutor will answer questions, provide feedback, and explain key ideas or formatting related to the help topic or subject.
Multiple students seeking help for the same topic or subject may request a group tutoring session. ASC staff will also offer drop-in group tutorials for some topics/subjects.
Note: The nature of academic support offered each term is dependent on the nature of courses/programs offered and the demand for help. Therefore, students are encouraged to check the ASC Help Schedule on a weekly basis throughout each term to check what services are currently offered.
If students are seeking help in a general skill area that does not seem to be covered in the ASC schedule, they are encouraged to contact the Centre at ASC@sl.on.ca to check whether tutors can offer support for the subject or redirect them to another college service.

Guidelines for students
Book your appointment early.
Spots fill up quickly. Be prepared.
Arrive on time.
Students who arrive more than 10 minutes late will forfeit their appointment.
Bring a hard copy.
Tutors should not read computer screens for a lengthy period, and issues are often easier to identify in print form.
Tutoring sessions are confidential.
The Writing Centre is a small confidential space. Friends must wait outside the Centre unless a group session has been arranged in advance.
Be respectful.
Please turn off or mute your mobile phone when receiving help.
Take an active role.
Tutors provide advice, explanation, and helpful suggestions. Students make changes to their work and remain responsible for the end product.
Keep your appointment confirmation email
Retain the confirmation email you receive after booking your appointment. For online appointments, this email contains the Microsoft Teams meeting link required to join your session.
You may also receive appointment reminders before your scheduled meeting. Please review your bookings carefully to avoid accidentally scheduling overlapping appointments.
