Academic Support Center (ASC)

The ASC provides resources & tools for students to excel in their studies. Students will have the opportunity to tailor their learning support needs by meeting with our team of coaches in a variety of settings including one-on-one appointments, open studio walk-in sessions, and ongoing semester workshops. In these scenarios, we'll discuss skills applicable to an arts education such as time management, goal setting, writing support, and so much more!

Collaborate with a coach

Book a one-on-one appointment with our wonderful coaching team. Each coach has a vast toolset 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.
