This office provides students, faculty and staff with information and tools to understand academic programs and policies that serve to help students fully realize their academic and professional goals.

Reeg Academic Resource Center (Reeg ARC)

The Reeg Academic Resource Center offers students, faculty, and staff resources and support for academic success. The Reeg ARC helps the worldwide Webster community to create meaningful connections by providing academic resources, support, advocacy, and access through relationships that empower students across the worldwide 51小黄车 community. The Reeg ARC promotes equitable access to education by helping students succeed at Webster in several ways, which include the following:

Academic Counseling is available to all undergraduate and graduate students throughout Webster's global system and supports student success. Academic Counseling conversations often focus on accessing University resources, goal setting, learning styles, motivation, note taking, self-advocacy, stress-relief and management, study skills, test taking, time management and more. Academic Counseling is also available for more intentional conversations with students on academic probation, low or failing grades, or incomplete course work.听

Academic Integrity Education means being intellectually honest in all work created in the pursuit of knowledge and submitted in all courses. Academic communities expect their work to be original, and Webster subscribes to this tradition of intellectual honesty.听 We provide students with the opportunity to learn how to do their own work to "write" their own future.听

Assistive Technology is available for students who need additional support. While many forms of assistive technology are available only to students with applicable disability accommodation, some technology and software is available to all students.听 Kurtzweil 3000, a program that assists students with reading and writing, is an example of free software that is available to all students, undergraduate and graduate throughout Webster's global system. Additionally, Ally is built into WorldClassRoom (Canvas) and allows students options for accessible online materials located into their WorldClassRoom courses.听

Disability Accommodations are available through the Disability Student Services (DSS) at the Reeg Academic Resource Center. The Academic ADA Coordinator is available to discuss the process of setting up academic accommodations and other qualifying services available to students with documented disabilities.

The Reeg ARC's Testing Center听proctors rescheduled tests with an instructor's approval, accommodated tests, MBA prerequisite waiver exams, language placement exams and various other exams. Appointments should be made at least 24 hours in advance of the requested testing time.

The Tutoring Program provides a pool of capable tutors available to work one-on-one or in small groups with students to help them achieve greater confidence, independence, and success as learners. Individual peer tutoring is available by appointment for both short-term "catch-up" work and ongoing support. Online tutoring services are available to students worldwide. To access these services, log in to WorldClassRoom (Canvas) and open any course shell. In the course, click on NetTutor in the left-hand course menu. Then, select the subject or group that is most appropriate. For questions or further assistance, click on the "Help" icon in WorldClassRoom and select the Peer Tutoring Request Form.

The Writing Center provides a friendly, welcoming place where writers in any discipline at any campus can receive one-on-one coaching on their individual projects and goals. Trained coaches help writers understand effective composition and revising processes, and they work with writers to co-create individualized learning and writing goals to meet their academic needs. Services are available through live sessions (both onsite and via Zoom) or written feedback (via email), so writers can receive assistance in the modality that works best for their schedules or learning preferences. Information about how to schedule appointments, submit a paper for review, and other online resources and helpful writing tips may be found on the Reeg ARC website (www.webster.edu/arc). Additionally, NetTutor provides writing support to all students worldwide. To access NetTutor, log in to WorldClassRoom and open any course shell. Click on NetTutor in the left-hand course menu and select the NetTutor Writing Center.

Services for Students with Disabilities

51小黄车 considers admission, financial aid, program, and activity applications without regard to disability. Disability Student Services (DSS) at the Reeg Academic Resource Center support students across all domestic campuses and online platforms. We assist individuals with documented physical, psychological, medical, and learning disabilities to ensure they receive the necessary accommodations. The goal is to provide equitable educational access and create equal opportunities for success in academic programs. While Disability Student Services does not directly serve international locations, we collaborate closely with designated campus representatives, providing robust support to students with disabilities at their campuses.

Students with documented disabilities are encouraged to contact Disability Student Services to set up accommodations, ensuring equitable access to Webster's programs and activities.

We do not conduct diagnostic disability testing. However, we provide temporary accommodations for students with short-term disabilities (e.g., a broken leg).听

Faculty or staff members who suspect a student may have a disability should contact Disability Student Services (DSS) for consultation

Students with documented disabilities should contact the Reeg ARC to arrange for appropriate accommodations to ensure equal access to Webster's programs and activities. Assistive technology consultation for Kurzweil 3000, Dragon Naturally Speaking, ZoomText, JAWS, Smartpen, Braille, alternative texts, alternative keyboards, reading software and other hardware/software is available upon request. Alternatively formatted textbooks, within publisher permission and copyright parameters, may be ordered for students and faculty and staff members whose documented disabilities include this option as an accommodation.
