How We Help
Everyday, our Student Services Coordinators help students just like you through issues that might otherwise hold them back from success. Here are just a few examples:
Megan’s Story
Megan had purchased the wrong books and her class was starting in a couple of days. When she called into the Personal Support Center, she was frantic. Natasha, a Student Services Coordinator, listened carefully to Megan’s problem. Then, she explained to Megan that her first three weeks of reading assignments had been loaded into ANGEL so she could complete those without issue.
Then, Natasha called Megan’s campus and arranged to get books for her.
Alberto’s Story
Alberto was working on his Graduate Achievement Portfolio (GAP) and found that he had accidentally forgotten to save one of his best assignments to his PC after finishing it. He was very upset when he called into the Personal Support Center, because he knew he really needed that assignment to complete his graduation requirements.
Jason, an online Student Services Coordinator, was able to locate Alberto’s old course, which was archived into our Course Management System. Jason was able to download Alberto’s missing assignment and email it to him.
Alberto was able to complete his GAP Portfolio and graduate with his Associate’s degree in Accounting.
Denise’s Story
Denise was going through some rough times. She had severe medical and personal issues that were keeping her from completing her classwork, and she was almost ready to quit school. Christine, an online Student Support Coordinator, worked with Denise’s instructors so, that she could make it through the term with extra help. Everyone was very happy when she completed, not only the term, but continued on to complete her entire course load and graduate.
Christine attended Denise’s graduation and stood up for her when she walked to receive her degree.
Starting something new can be intimidating. That’s why we offer a New Student Orientation to help you feel at ease in your new environment. Your Student Services Coordinator will walk through your orientation with you and answer any questions you may have.
Our New Student Orientation will:
- Help you recognize the impact of your academic performance
- Describe student life at Rasmussen College
- Identify the Student Service resources available to you
- Teach you what to expect in an online course
- Describe “key success factors” required to become a college graduate
If you are an Online or blended-learning student, your orientation will also provide you with a brief look at an online classroom, in preparation for your courses.
If you would like to know more about attending the orientation, please call your preferred campus location.
We know that you’re busy with work, family, and other responsibilities. Finding time to fit in your education can be difficult. That’s why your Student Services Coordinator is there to help you choose the best schedule to fit your lifestyle.
We offer flexible scheduling that allows you to attend classes during the day, in the evening, or online - including blended-learning options that combine online and traditional courses. We work hard to make your education possible, no matter what your challenges.
We are committed to your success. That is why tutoring is a free service offered by Rasmussen College to help you in your course work. Tutoring is available on a one-on-one basis, which includes pairing you with a strongly skilled student who has previously taken the class and demonstrated command of the material or by a faculty member. Additionally, tutoring is available online, and in some cases is available 24 x 7.
Below are some of our other resources for tutoring:
Mentor Centers
