Testing
The SASC offers testing services for all Rosemont College students. To ensure that students' learning needs are met, SASC conducts standardized placement testing for first year students prior to initial course selection and registration. SASC also provides make-up testing, extended-time testing, and testing for students needing special accommodations. To arrange student testing, faculty may contact the Coordinator of Testing and Tutorials at 610-527-0200 ext. 2399.
Tutorials
The SASC provides across-the-curriculum computer tutorials, audios, videos, and one-on-one and group tutoring for all Rosemont College students. Tutoring is available to students who wish to improve their academic performance or maintain high grades in a variety of subject areas. The SASC acknowledges the diverse learning needs of traditional, non-traditional, and ESL students in a multi-sensory educational environment. Students may access tutoring by appointment or on a walk-in basis. Students may also schedule regular weekly appointments.
SASC provides tutoring in the following areas:
- Writing
- Reading
- Languages
- Mathematics
- Sciences
- Study Skills
- Praxis exam preparation
- APA style
- Tutoring by Email
In addition to face to face tutoring, SASC provides writing tutoring by email for students from the Schools of Graduate and Professional Studies (GPS), who are unable to visit the SASC. GPS students may send their papers to sasc.tutoring@rosemont.edu. Along with papers, we ask students to tell us their assignment and the areas upon which they would like the tutor to focus i.e. grammar or content. A tutor will review the paper and respond during our open hours via email. In addition, GPS students may arrange for a phone appointment.
