Academic Resources Center

Student tutors utilizing whiteboard during tutoring session

The Academic Resources Center (ARC), located on the 5th floor of Unity Hall, provides tutoring support that is designed to enhance the learning experience of WPI undergraduate students. 

The student-based, collaborative learning environment of the ARC offers 1-on-1 tutoring as well as group, drop-in tutoring (called MASH - Math & Science Help) for many introductory math, science, computer science, and engineering science courses. The Academic Resources center aims to assist WPI undergraduate students in the acquisition of information, guidance towards becoming independent learners, and development of skills to accomplish their academic goals.

At the ARC you will find peer tutors who provide support for introductory math, science, and computer science courses, as well as a quiet place to study if you need somewhere to think and do your work undisturbed.

Summer 2024 Tutored Courses

Alternatively, if needed, (or if the student is part of the Class of 2028), students can fill out the ARC tutoring inquiry form found at this link http://bit.ly/ARCTutor or email arc@wpi.edu to request tutoring if they have scheduling conflicts. We will work as best as we can with the student to try and get them connected with the tutor covering the subject to arrange a mutually agreeable time for the tutoring session. Further instructions on how to access tutoring offered by the ARC are also located on the Academic Resources Center Canvas Page.
