The ASTC is a space that provides a wide variety of FREE services to ALL Solano Community College students.

Online Tutoring with SCC Tutors
Academic Success and Tutoring Center services are available to students by self-registering at the following Canvas link: https://solano.instructure.com/enroll/EKEA7Y
To be able to connect with the tutors in Canvas, students need to enroll to the ASTC Canvas shell. This is a free service for all SCC students, and it can be added at any time during the semester. It will never appear on transcripts and will not affect financial aid. To enroll, simply click on the following link:Â https://solano.instructure.com/enroll/EKEA7Y. This will open up Canvas, and you will need to click on the “Enroll in this Course” button.
Solano Community College tutors are working on Zoom via Canvas. Our tutors are online, ready, and willing to help students. Click on the following PDF for more information about connecting with ASTC Tutors over Zoom:
