Math Assessment
A Math Skills Assessment is designed for students who are struggling in an RIT math
course despite using the math resources available at RIT, or for those who have been away from
mathematics for a while.
Contact birgit.coffey@rit.edu or bruce.pennington@rit.edu to schedule a math assessment.
Academic Assessment
The Academic Assessment Program (AAP) is designed to analyze the causes of academic difficulty for students who are unclear about what is impacting their performance. Multiple techniques, including interviewing, checklists, and formal assessment tools, are used to uncover the sources of difficulty. Assessment Specialists work with students to determine what strategies, instruction, and/or referrals are appropriate to address performance issues. If a disability (such as ADHD or a specific learning disability) is suspected, the student is referred off-campus for further evaluation.
Contact jane.munt@rit.edu with any questions.
Structured Monitoring
ASC Structured Monitoring provides students with regularly scheduled check-ins with a learning specialist. This academic coaching addresses organizational skills, study strategies, and advocacy skills. Structured Monitoring is intended for students who anticipate difficulty navigating the college environment due to learning differences or other factors.
