Academic Support

I have been out of school for a while.
Do you think I can handle college?
The faculty and staff at Westchester Community College know returning to school can be frightening and that you may need some time to adjust to college. We also know that adult students are often our strongest students. You work hard, are making sacrifices to attend and are very motivated! At Westchester Community College you will take a placement test to help you and your counselor pick the right level of courses. If you need to do some review, refresher courses are offered in English, reading and math, and services are available for students with learning disabilities. A caring faculty is always there to help you.

Does Westchester Community College offer tutoring to help with classes?
The professional staff of our expanded Academic Support Center (ASC) offers you free tutoring and support in reading and math. An extensive series of academic workshops in test-taking, note taking and study skills are offered each semester to help you sharpen your academic skills. In addition to the ASC, tutoring centers for many other areas such as science and writing are available to you. Your faculty and counselor will direct you to these services.
