Academic Support
The Center for Academic Support Services (CASS) at Antioch College is committed to supporting all students throughout their time at Antioch College in accomplishing their professional and academic goals. CASS is available to assist students with a variety of needs for those who would like some additional guidance outside of the classroom.
Students frequently meet with CASS for their time management and organization needs as it relates to current academics, communication strategies, encouragement, accountability, testing/ study skills, strategies for focus and more. Sometimes this is one meeting and other times this is an established coaching arrangement throughout the term where students meet with CASS and create a success plan and then regularly to review their progress towards their goals or desired outcomes for the quarter.
Peer Tutoring
Antioch College’s Peer Tutoring program is designed for students to support their peers academically. Tutors are selected by the Assistant Director of Student Success and Academic Resources each year. Most faculty require peer tutors to have successfully passed the course for which they wish to serve as a peer tutor. The areas in which there are most frequently tutors are: math, sciences, writing, media, languages (sometimes not a peer tutor). There is some flexibility for other areas to have peer tutors based on the needs of our students. The tutoring schedule is sent out via email at the beginning of the term to all students.
Early Alert System
Early Alert Notifications are submitted by faculty to the First CARE Team as a way for us to know to reach out to the student to work together and identify areas in which we can assist students early in the term to help support student success.
Once an Early Alert Report is submitted, the student and their academic advisor will be contacted. Any or all of these individuals may be contacted or may contact the student to discuss support strategies.
The Early Alert Form will be sent out during the first week of the quarter.
If you have any concerns, academic or otherwise, about a student(s), please make a referral to the First CARE Team. If you have questions, please contact firstcare@antiochcollege.edu.
