Tutoring Programs

Tutoring is available in specific subject areas on a limited basis to those students demonstrating need. A student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or lower or faculty approval to be eligible for tutoring. Students must be currently enrolled in the course for which tutoring is requested. In order to receive tutoring, students must fill out an application for each course and obtain appropriate faculty signatures, if necessary.

AAESS also offers open drop-in tutoring for all interested DC students throughout the trimester. See AAESS staff for current schedule.

Counseling Services

Counseling services are available at no charge to NYCC students. They are also available on a short term, no charge basis to NYCC faculty and staff. Counselors can help with a variety of issues such as academic difficulties, anxiety, depression, family or relationship problems, grief and loss, eating disorders, and substance abuse.

Staff are also available to provide workshops, training seminars and other programs aimed at improving the health and well-being of the campus community at large.

Disability Services

New York Chiropractic College is fully committed to equal opportunity in educational programs for all otherwise qualified individuals without regard to handicap or disability, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008 and Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Reasonable accommodations are provided to students with disabilities, at their request, upon review and approval of their official documentation and the requirements of the program. See AAESS staff for information on obtaining disabilities services and documentation guidelines.

Learning Consultations

The Academy for Academic Excellence and Student Success offers a variety of ways for students to improve their learning strategies. Individual, group, and class sessions may be scheduled to assess and improve study skills, time management, organization, memory, concentration, test taking, learning styles, note taking, textbook strategies, etc.

Academic Advising

Academic advising is coordinated through the Academy for Academic Excellence and Student Success and provided by selected academic administrators and faculty members. Academic advising is available for all interested students. It is a goal of academic advising to provide preventative and interventional services in an effort to prevent academic difficulty. Academic advising is mandatory for students placed on academic probation or warning. If a student requests or is identified as needing academic advising support services, an advising coordinator and faculty advisor will be assigned by AAESS. It is then the student's responsibility to schedule appointments with their assigned advisor to receive support in raising their academic status and succeed in their course of study.
