Academic Programs
5.8 Academic Support
This section discusses the resources available for faculty and students
that support academic endeavors. Some units and services, including
the Library and Basic Skills program, are administered through
the Academic Affairs
division, while others, such as Academic Advisement and the
College Success program, come under the purview of Student
Services & Enrollment Management.
Information Technology Services reports to the Executive Director
of Information Technology. This means that effective communication
among divisions is
essential. In fact, since technology has become so integral
to a number of academic support services, a special advisory
group, the Teaching and Learning with Technology Roundtable
(TLTR), has been established to facilitate communication among
programs, units, and resource providers.
To provide a better overview of the range of services available, this chapter will group these services by type rather than reporting structure. Following the discussion of services and academic support provided by the Melvin J. Zahnow Library, this section reviews key academic support programs and academic support centers. Student services focusing on campus and residential life, recreational programs, and personal issues will be discussed in Chapter 6, Campus Culture.
