Academic Support Center

To help students improve their academic performance and achieve their educational goals, Berkeley has established Academic Support Centers on each campus. Any student needing help will find an array of services such as study skills training; support for reading and writing skills; and assistance with mathematics, oral communication, and computer applications. Both peer and faculty tutors are available for assistance. Students who need them may receive individualized plans for instructional support.

In addition, the Academic Support Center provides supplemental instruction in some classes by embedding peer tutors into courses. Faculty members may also opt to include additional training, such as a research paper writing workshop offered by an Academic Support Center staff member, in their regular classes.

The Academic Support Centers are open during the day as well as some evening hours. The Academic Support Center tutoring program is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).
