Mission statement

The Academic Resource Center of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth endeavors to support achievement of academic goals belonging to a variety of groups; students, faculty members and administrators, which are inherent to the educational mission of the University. The ARC bolsters students’ efforts to meet the demands of the curriculum contributing to increased retention by focusing on academic needs and offering peer-tutoring services in a caring and supportive environment. The ARC helps faculty members address the curriculum by providing feedback on common student misconceptions addressed while tutoring their students, conducting pre-exam review sessions and, when requested, assisting faculty in proctoring exams given in crowded classrooms.
