About the Academic Success Center

Students sometimes realize even before starting at Kent State or after classes begin that they would benefit from tutoring. Their parents, high school teachers and counselors, academic advisors, or university instructors may recommend academic assistance. Academic support is available to students at no charge through the Academic Success Center (ASC).

ASC programs funded by a federal Student Support Services (SSS) TRIO grant focus on 300 students who are first-generation college students, meet specific income criteria, or are registered with Student Accessibility Services. Other ASC services have no eligibility requirements and are available to all students.

New freshmen who may be eligible for SSS are sent an application during the summer before first enrolling; students who decide to wait to apply until after they are in classes at Kent State are encouraged to apply during the first week of each semester by coming to the ASC in 207 Michael Schwartz Center Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.. Students can also obtain our 2008/2009 Tutoring application online, but they must bring their completed form, in person, to the ASC (207 MSC) to complete the application process. Applying early is critical to help students prevent academic problems and particularly important for students requesting assistance in mathematics.
