Student Support Services The College offers a campus-wide system to support student learning and success. Upon your arrival at ACPHS, you will be assigned an academic advisor, a faculty member who will help guide you through your academic career. You will be required to meet with your academic advisor at least once a semester to discuss matters such as course selection, research, and career and leadership opportunities. As a first year student, you will also be assigned a professional advisor who can assist with specific first-year student needs, such as successfully transitioning to the ACPHS community and learning the skills needed for academic success. The College also offers a number of services and resources through the Center for Teaching and Learning Effectiveness to help students grow academically, personally and professionally. The Peer Tutoring Program provides academic assistance to all ACPHS undergraduate students in both individual and small group settings. Tutoring is generally available for all of the core science and math courses offered at the College.
