Instructors are well-aware of the warning signs that a student is struggling and at-risk for an unsuccessful course completion. Early Alerts are the 'alarm' they use to notify you, your advisor, and student services advisors that a change needs to occur, and additional support may be needed, in order for you to complete the course successfully. Check out this Early Alert information sheet to understand some steps you may need to take to improve your chances of success in your class.

The Ozarka College Student Success Center provides FREE tutoring on all 4 campuses.  

ALL students can benefit from tutoring. Tutoring is NOT for dummies, but for any student who has hit a trouble spot in a course that someone who has "been there and done that" can help them overcome.  

If you hit a road block in one of your classes, be sure to ask for help.  And when you do, it will help you to know what to expect from working with a tutor.  This document can help you understand what tutors can do for you.  Then see page 2 for links to some GREAT online tutoring resources!
