Southern Vermont College

Academic Support Services

The ACTion program on campus provides academics, counseling, and tutoring support for students. The Career, Tutorial, and Writing Centers are places where student can receive professional and peer assistance with resume writing, job opportunities, and one-on-one tutoring. In addition, ACTion provides a counselor for students to ensure their personal well-being, and the Disabilities Support Program staff offer those students with learning disabilities a supportive environment in which to achieve their academic goals.

The College recognizes that international students for whom English is a second language have special needs and provides opportunities for these students to improve their English skills, and allow them additional time, when necessary, to complete written assignments and tests. Students will receive a great deal of support and individual attention as they develop their writing skills. The ACTion program provides this academic support in the English language areas including the Learning Cooperative, Writing Center, and faculty consultations.
