Tutoring
Peer tutors provide free one-on-one tutoring services to Bethany College students. Tutors are students who are excellent in their subject area and have outstanding peer-support skills. We all need a little help and feedback at some point. When you need extra support with a specific subject or general help with study skills, reading strategies or writing a paper, don't wait until you're underwater to raise your hand. Test proctors are also available for students who have unavoidably missed a test and their professor permits taking the test at a different time.
Book an appointment with a tutor or test proctor here or with the QR codes on bulletin boards around campus. Tutors are available in the Student Success Center, located in Wallerstedt Library Rooms 115 – 122.
Academic Accommodations (ADA)
Bethany College is committed to helping every student succeed. This includes providing an equitable and inclusive learning environment in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you had an IEP or 504 in high school or have a documentable disability, we want to provide you with reasonable accommodations or academic adjustments. Common assistance includes note takers, extended time, testing in a distraction free environment, and accessible classrooms. These accommodations can make a big difference in your learning experience. But you must reach out to claim them.
To receive these benefits, complete this very short form or scan one the QR codes on bulletin boards around campus marked Academic Accommodations. For any questions regarding this process, contact Reb Miller through email (millerrs@bethanylb.edu), phone (785-227-3380 x 8523), in person (Wallerstedt Library Office 116), or schedule an appointment here. Make contact within the first week of classes to get ahead of any problems you may encounter. (But if you decide to reach out later, please contact Reb Miller as soon as possible.)
Note: Requesting accommodations in college is not like high school. The college student is responsible for disclosing their disability or learning difference and must provide documentation. We will not ask you if you need accommodations.
First-Year Advisors
Every incoming first-year student has been assigned a first-year advisor to personally help them navigate the challenges of starting college. If you have trouble finding their name go to the Student Success Center in the library or contact Reb Miller (millerrs@bethanylb.edu).
For questions regarding any of these resources contact Reb Miller through email (millerrs@bethanylb.edu), phone (785-227-3380 x 8523), in person (Wallerstedt Library Office 116), or schedule an appointment here.
