The Academic Support Center (ASC) cares for well being of all students. Part of student well being is the knowledge that you have the resources and services to support your learning journey. To ensure that you do not lose this support during this time of “sheltering in place” due to COVID-19, ASC has moved all of its existing tutoring services online, as well as added additional support related to online learning. All of ASC’s tutoring services are described in detail below.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate this difficult situation. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions and stay safe.

Online Peer Tutoring
ASC peer tutors provide online academic support via Canvas for a wide range of courses

Meet ASC Tutors on Canvas
Once you log in to your Canvas account, you have two ways to meet your tutors:
1. via the "MC Tutoring" course card in the Canvas Dashboard.
2. from the left-side Navigation bar, ASC/Tutoring, from any Mission College Canvas course site.
We use a new online platform, Cranium Cafe, for tutoring meetings including drop-in sessions and appointments. Instructions
and tutorial videos are available on Canvas for you to learn how to meet your tutor
and utilize online academic support services.
