Academic Skills Advancement

Department Chairperson - J. Owen Fry

To ensure that every student has the opportunity to be successful, Ivy Tech Community College offers Academic Skills Advancement programs. These developmental programs are for students enrolled in regular programs or courses at the College who are having academic difficulty or who have been identified as having academic difficulty in the past. Services provided through the program include diagnostic and assessment, course placement services and instruction. The need for these services may be identified at the time of admission. However, a student may use any or all services at any time during a course of study.

Academic Support Centers are located at each of the main campuses (Anderson, Marion, & Muncie). These centers are available for student use and are under departmental control. Also, free tutoring is available at each of the main campuses. Students needing tutoring may contact the local Academic Support Center or an Academic Skills advisor for information.
