Academic Resources Center
The Bard Academic Resources Center (BARC) provides academic support for all students. Peer tutoring, staff consultations, and courses in grammar and writing are offered each semester.
In addition to credit-bearing courses in writing and grammar, the Center offers one-on-one peer tutoring in all academic subjects. Writing tutors are available for drop-in consultation five nights per week. Students may also meet with staff members for more focused assistance on writing, study skills, and time management. Special programs on writing the Senior Project are offered as part of the Senior Salon Series. Individualized review sessions in quantitative skills assist students in passing the Q Exam, which is required of all students before they can enroll in courses that satisfy the mathematics and computing distribution requirement.
Services for students with disabilities include academic coaching and study skills, and time management training. A variety of assistive technology equipment is also available for student use.
The BARC website features extensive links to writers’ resources, including style guides, grammar help, foreign language dictionaries, and resources for students with learning disabilities.
