Center for Academic Success & Tutoring (CAST)

Schedule Update

CAST will be closed from November 26th - 29th and will reopen on Monday, December 1st. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

The Center for Academic Success & Tutoring (CAST) at Farmingdale State College is committed to ensuring student success by delivering high-quality tutoring and academic support services. The Center provides several support services to currently registered Farmingdale State College students for courses in which they are currently enrolled, free of charge. These services include face-to-face tutoring, online/remote tutoring, academic success workshops, and academic coaching. Face-to-face tutoring sessions are conducted on an appointment basis in an individual or small group setting. Although tutoring is not available for every course or subject area, the Center typically coordinates tutoring in over 100 courses each semester.
 
The Tutoring Course Availability page lists the courses which have tutoring available this semester. The CAST Tutoring Schedule displays when the tutors are available and contains links to the Bookings appointment scheduling system to make an appointment.
 

We strongly recommend students view our Frequently Asked Questions, the Student Tutoring & Coaching Agreement, and our Appointment Policy prior to their initial tutoring or academic coaching session.
