The Academic Resource Center provides group and individual tutoring
and other academic activities for all students, free of charge. The
ARC services include helping students to prepare for papers and
examinations, as well as arranging enriching group study and
research for students who are already doing well in core classes and
other courses. The student tutors often work closely with the
faculty teaching the classes in which they are tutoring, meeting
regularly to plan and provide individual and small-group help for
students who need it, and to increase interactive and collaborative
educational experiences both in and outside Oglethorpe’s classrooms.
For information on how to receive tutoring services, visit the
Academic Writing
Center in our Campus Life section.

they tutor. They discuss how to work with texts in different
disciplines, encourage study group members to help each other
learn, and foster student engagement with and assimilation of
course content. Graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.
