Academic Tutoring & Coaching

Getting our students on a path to attend college full-time is important to their success. We know that students who attend college full-time not only finish faster and have access to more financial resources, they’re much more likely to earn their degree or certificate, or transfer to a four-year university.

Data show that ACC students who attend full-time have much higher completion rates (56%) compared to our part-time students (40%), yet the majority of our students attend part-time. This  strategy supports the pillar for Enroll Full-Time.

Key Activities

  • Build a robust, integrated system for required tutoring with course-specific tutors in the top-enrolled classes with automatic triggers at scale.
  • Create an asset map of all tutoring offerings across the district.
  • Integrate Learning Labs, Accelerators, Tutoring Centers, Embedded online tutoring services, supplemental instruction, and peer tutoring in all Student Affairs and Instructional offerings into a seamless system to help students.
  • Determine recommendations around flexible facilities and caseloads to match student demand.
