Tutoring sessions emphasize course content and also focus on study and time management skills.
Tutoring sessions occur in the afternoon. You will find out your tutoring schedule on the first day of classes.
CAMPUS LIFE
A huge benefit to choosing Summer ASP is getting to know WCU's campus and the local community. Downtown West Chester has been named one of the nation's top college towns and as a Summer ASP student, you'll get time to explore it all before the rest of campus moves in.
