Faculty Resources

The peer scholars at the Academic Resource Center are responsible for helping Illinois Institute of Technology students in undergraduate courses improve study skills and academic performance. 

As a faculty member at Illinois Tech, you may be able provide important information, which may not be obtained from ARC scholar application. If you have a student that will be a good candidate to become a peer tutor or supplemental instructor, please send the name, email and your endorsement (a short paragraph supporting the student's candidate) via email to Rama Madhurapantula at rmadhura@iit.edu.

You can now include the following information in your syllabus to make them aware of Academic Resource Center and its services:

• The Academic Resource Center offers free peer tutoring, exam reviews, workshops, and computing and printing services for Illinois Tech students. For more information about different services, visit the ARC web site at www.iit.edu/arc. 

Exam reviews are question-and-answer sessions with questions provided by the professor. If no exam review sheet is provided by the professor, the tutor prepares review questions from the book. The review sessions are typically scheduled in the evening from 6–8 p.m., ideally a day before the exam. Please request an exam review two weeks in advance to schedule a tutor. ARC will not schedule an exam review a week before final exams and during final exam week.

The Academic Resource Center schedules ARC Scholars to visit classrooms to introduce themselves and ARC resources to your course. Typically, a class visit requires two to three minutes of your lecture. The ARC scholar may distribute flyers with information about the ARC. The ARC scholar will visit in the beginning or at the end of the class. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Rama at rmadhura@iit.edu  or call ext. 7-7980.

The new Early Warning and Intervention system has now been launched for all 1xx-4xx level courses. More information about the system is available on this site.
