Academic Support & Tutoring Services

Tutoring Services

Tutoring services are available in a variety of delivery formats. We encourage you to connect with a subject-specific tutorial lab for support. Access to Blackboard resources, including Zoom meeting rooms, are provided by each subject-specific tutorial lab.

Drop-in tutoring support

  • In-person tutorial support is available in each subject-specific tutorial lab.
  • Online tutoring support for each subject-specific tutorial lab is accessed through Blackboard.
  • View Tutorial Labs for a list of labs, their websites, hours of support, and detailed connection instructions.

Appointment-based tutoring

Appointment-based tutoring is designed to supplement the support provided by the subject-specific tutorial labs and is available for specific IRW and MA classes (IRW 97 & 98, MA 97, 98, 99, and 107). Availability for other subjects may be limited.

  • The application to request appointment-based tutoring is available in the Academic Support & Tutoring Services office located in room 232 of the GRCC Library or can be downloaded: Tutor Request Form 2024
  • Completed Tutor Requests Forms can be returned to the ASTS Office or email to: tutoring@grcc.edu
