Academic Support Center

Overview

TheAcademic Support Center (ASC)is a free service, located at PNCA, for students to meet with academic coaches to develop self-agency in their personal, scholarly, and professional practices. Students have the opportunity to meet with our academic coaches for scheduled appointments, drop-in sessions, and ongoing success workshops.

Mission Statement

The ASC provides PNCA students tailored guidance with tools to cultivate persistence and grow as individuals, scholars, and artists.

Coaching Appointments

Book a one-on-one appointment with our wonderful coaching team. Each coach has a vast tool set of skills and strategies beneficial to an arts education. Timeblocking, artist statements, research support — these are just a handful of the things we cover & so much more. In the fall & spring semesters, our coaches are available throughout the day (between 9:00 am - 5:00 pm) in the ASC (Room 208) or our office (Room 210). To book an appointment with a coach, click their profile picture below.

Drop-In Sessions

In a hurry and need to have an appointment? No need to fret! During the fall & spring semesters, the Academic Support Center has drop-in appointments Monday through Friday from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM in Room 208. We encourage students to show up as they are — no need to plan anything, and its more than okay to show up messy.

Workshops

With a focus on interactive collaboration & active learning, these hands-on workshops are designed to broaden your academic resource toolkit.
