Online Student Success
Welcome as a student in the Online Associates Program. Online education has its own nuances, and help can be difficult to find if a student encounters a problem. As the head of Student Success, I will do my best to help you if you have particular difficulties relating to navigating the online college experience, acquiring specific academic skills, or receiving tutoring to help with academic success. Although online students are not necessarily on the campus of AWC, we are committed to ensuring that you are able to experience the campus community, as well as access any resources or information that would make the online program as user-friendly as possible. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how you can get the most in your online studies.
