Academic Support Services
The Student Success Coordinator provides student success advising and programing through peer mentoring, basic skills coaching, first year workshops, tutoring and entry assessments in mathematics and writing for all students.
Career Positioning
Career Positioning at Antioch College is focused on helping students advance themselves within particular communities of professional practice as they pursue their career goals, prepare for graduate school, develop applications for nationally competitive awards, or seek other opportunities that will enrich their undergraduate experience and early careers. The Cooperative Education (Co-Op) Faculty leads campus coordination of Career Positioning efforts using the students’ preparation and engagement in the Co-Op Program as a foundational springboard. Every four-year student is required to complete a minimum of three cooperative education experiences for graduation. Through co-op advising and coursework, students engage in creative resume development, cover-letter writing, interview practice, web-presence development, and social media techniques. Additionally, students explore multiple communities of professional practice directly through field experiences on co-op as they continue to identify and pursue their career interests and forge meaningful future pathways. Students work closely with their Co-Op Advisors throughout their time at the College as they apply for opportunities, document their accomplishments, and navigate towards a purposeful future post-graduation.
Counseling Services
Counseling Services are an integral part of health and wellness at Antioch College. Free counseling services are available to all students currently enrolled at the college. The campus counselor provides psychological assistance, psychoeducation, social supports, crisis intervention, assessments, and referrals to off-campus mental health resources. Individual counseling, as well as consultation and in-service trainings for faculty and staff on significant issues related to student mental health are available. In addition, phone and e-mail consultations may be available to students on co-op on a case-by-case basis. All services are confidential and within the ethical and legal guidelines of the Ohio Counselor, Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy Board.

Disability Services
Antioch College welcomes students with disabilities as part of our diverse student body. In order to provide equal access to education in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Antioch College will provide reasonable academic accommodations for students with documented disabilities. To receive academic accommodations, students must supply documentation in accordance with office guidelines, register with Disability Services, and are then responsible for utilizing approved accommodations in the manner outlined by the Student Success Services Coordinator. Students are strongly encouraged to register with Disability Services prior to the start of the quarter in order to ensure all accommodations are in place prior to the beginning of classes. Questions regarding these services should be directed to the Student Success Services Coordinator.
Early Alert Warning System
The Early Alert Warning System allows Academic Support Services to assist students who are having academically related problems in their classes. Faculty members submit early alert reports detailing excessive absences, poor study habits, failure to complete assignments, etc. Staff will contact students by e-mail, phone, and/or letter requesting a meeting to address areas of weakness or difficulty. Staff will also connect with the First Watch Academic Intervention Committee (FWAIC) to arrange for appropriate support and intervention.

Tutorial Services
Connecting students to tutorial services offered on campus is an important contributor to academic success. Some students require alternative learning resources that go beyond the regular classroom experience; therefore, the Student Success Coordinator connects students to supplemental tutorial support to enhance skills related to mathematics, foreign language, and writing. Additionally, peer educators are assigned to first-year students to reiterate the importance of attending tutoring sessions while continuing to attend classes and meet with professors on a regular basis to discuss any course content concerns and overall academic progress.
The Writing Institute
The Writing Institute at Antioch College is an innovative hub for multimodal composition and inspired practice of the writing craft. Faculty, Writing Fellows, and Peer Tutors provide focused support and mentorship through individual meetings with students writing in any genre or disciplinary convention across the Antioch curriculum. The Writing Institute also offers drop-in consulting for quick feedback on works-in-progress, resources for overcoming writer’s block, and online live-editing sessions.
The Writing Institute works to help scaffold writing skills across the curriculum, and offers printed resources and workshops that support writing projects common to the Antioch experience, including the Life Aims Paper, the self-design major Statement of Inquiry, Senior theses, and the Senior Reflection Paper—as well as technical writing support for the co-op resume, cover letter, and digital portfolio.
