Academic Support Resources

Courtright Memorial Library

The Academic Support Center offers services for students to help them realize their desired educational and career goals. Disability Services is housed within the Academic Support Center. The ASC, located on the second floor of the library, offers free walk-in tutoring in both the Writing Center and the Math Center (check their site for hours). Free one-on-one tutoring may also be arranged for many courses. Supplemental Instruction (SI) weekly review sessions are also offered for students taking historically difficult courses. The ASC also operates the STAR (Successful Transition to Academic Readiness) Program, designed to help at-risk freshmen experience success during their first year at Otterbein.

The Center for Career Planning helps students identify their interests, plan their college path, and become successful in the workplace. The staff uses various tests and inventories such as the Strong Interest Inventory (SII) and Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to help students clarify their strengths, aptitudes, and values. Then they work with the student to develop a personal four-year plan to guide their career progress through college. The services and resources of the Career Center assist the student in exploring career options and majors, planning relevant career-building experiences through extracurricular, work, and volunteer activities, building self-marketing and job search competencies, and connecting with job or graduate school opportunities.

The Courtright Memorial Librarians are available to answer your questions at the 1st floor reference desk during Library hours. You may also chat online with a librarian (see the Library help page for hours) or make an appointment to see a librarian.
