Student Academic Resource Center (SARC)

The Student Academic Resource Center provides highquality programs and services that enable UCF students to achieve their academic goals. Programs include: Supplemental Instruction, tutoring, academic advising, and academic success workshops.

The Supplemental Instruction (SI) program focuses on providing assistance to students in historically difficult courses such as anatomy, biology, chemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, and physics. These peerled study sessions give students in these courses an opportunity to meet outside of class to compare notes, discuss important concepts, and develop strategies on how to learn the subject matter.

Free peer tutoring is also available for many UCF subject areas, such as accounting, physics, statistics, chemistry, economics, and biology, to name a few. In total, SARC provides individual and group tutoring for more than 25 courses.

Each semester, SARC also offers a series of academic success workshops designed to address common student issues. Among these are testtaking strategies, time management, reading effectiveness, and memory improvement. Additionally, preparatory workshops are offered for the math portions of the College Level Academic Skills Test (CLAST) and General Knowledge exam. Computerassisted learning programs are also available for the GRE, GMAT, and CLAST exams.

SARC’s professional academic advisors provide support for students in the Pegasus Success Program, the College Achievement Program (CAP) and the Supporting Teacher Education Preprofessionals (STEP) Program.

A learning skills counselor is also available for students who need study skills advice or those who wish to enhance their educational experience.
