Students can work with the Director of Student Services to access disability services, tutoring, scholarship information, and community resources. In addition to providing ongoing support through completion of the program, the Student Services department works closely with student groups to enhance campus life, and maintains connections with our alumni to provide ongoing support and networking opportunities.

Students who wish to request accommodations should meet with the Director of Student Services to discuss their needs and review the documentation required in order for the necessary provisions to be arranged. Please refer to the College Catalog for the complete policy.

TUTORING

AIMC offers a variety of tutoring services to students in need of additional academic help.

Students who are not eligible for free tutoring services are welcome to hire any of the school’s individual tutors and pay for the assistance out-of-pocket. In such cases, the tutor will determine his/her rate and the student will pay the tutor directly. AIMC is not involved in tutor-for-hire agreements and cannot intercede in such matters.

Testimonials

"One of my favorite things about AIMC is the sense of community. We come together to support each other through challenges. Instead of a sense of competitiveness between students, there is a caring community that lifts everybody up. The faculty and staff are approachable and provide wonderful support during your graduate journey."
