ACADEMIC SUPPORT & DISABILITY SERVICES
513.244.8420 / acadsupport@CCUniversity.edu
The role of the Academic Support Office
is to develop and implement programs and services at CBC, which
will enable students to succeed academically and experience personal
satisfaction and fulfillment in their role as a student. The Director
of Academic Support spends many hours with students who for various
reasons are feeling stressed over issues that are affecting their
academic performance. Most of the time, a resolution is quickly
found and the student is able to complete the semester successfully.
Disability Support Services
Policies and Procedures
The following programs have been designed
to meet
the needs of students:
Individual Academic
Accountability Appointments
Students who need academic accountability meet with the Academic
Support Director on a weekly basis. Discussion during these appointments
centers around academic difficulties the student may be experiencing
and ways to resolve those difficulties, study skills and habits,
and reports on grades and class work.
Short Term Individual
Tutors
Several individuals have volunteered to assist students needing
help with a specific class or project. These individuals are available
for tutoring on a short-term basis. Students needing tutorial
services should request such from the Academic Support Office
at least twenty-four hours in advance. No fee is required.
Long Term Individual
Tutors
The Academic Support Office also offers weekly individual tutoring
sessions. These sessions are designed to help students with individual
classes, improve study skills, and provide academic accountability.
Mentors
The word mentor has come to mean a knowledgeable and dependable
person who takes a direct and personal interest in helping another.
Several members of the faculty/staff, and upperclassmen have volunteered
to serve as mentors. Students interested in a mentoring relationship
should contact the Academic Support Office.
Study Groups
These groups will be conducted periodically for freshmen. Their
purpose will be to relieve test and project anxiety for some of
the major academic hurdles freshmen might face: the first big
Acts test, the first term paper, etc. Graduate assistants and
upperclassmen will help with these study groups.
Disabilities Services
Information
If a student has a diagnosed physical or learning disability that
could require accommodations in the classroom (e.g. testing accommodations,
note-takers, interpreters, etc.), and he/she wishes to receive
accommodations, he/she must self-identify to the Academic Support
Office and present documentation of his/her physical or learning
disability. Only with that self-identification and documentation
will he/she be eligible for accommodations. This policy has been
put into place to protect your rights as a student under federal
law. Self-identification forms and information about documentation
necessary is available in the Academic Support Office.
