About ARC
ARC Standard Agreement
By using the ARC's tutoring services, students agree to being enrolled in a zero-unit section of Supervised Learning Assistance (Tutor 001). There is no cost, no grade, and no units associated with this. This is a free, zero-unit course used to coordinate tutoring efforts. Contact: weigansm@lavc.edu if you have any questions.

LAVC Antiracism
