Free BMCC Student Support Services
BMCC is committed to the health and well‐being of all students. It is common for everyone to seek assistance at some point in their life, and there are free and confidential services on campus that can help.
Advocacy and Resource Center (ARC)
https://www.bmcc.cuny.edu/student-affairs/arc/ room S230, 212‐220‐8195, arc@bmcc.cuny.edu. If you are having problems with food or housing insecurity, finances, health insurance or anything else that might get in the way of your studies at BMCC, contact the Advocacy and Resource Center (formerly Single Stop) for assistance. Please contact us at arc@bmcc.cuny.edu, call 212-220-8195, or come by the office at room S230. You may also contact the Office of Student Affairs, S350, 212‐220‐8130, studentaffairs@bmcc.cuny.edu, for assistance.
Counseling Center
www.bmcc.cuny.edu/counseling, room S343, 212‐220‐8140, counselingcenter@bmcc.cuny.edu. Counselors assist students in addressing psychological and adjustment issues (i.e., depression, anxiety, and relationships) and can help with stress, time management and more. This is a free and confidential resource available to all BMCC students. We offer in-person, zoom and phone appointments. Appointments can be made by calling or filling out the form on the homepage.
Learning Resource Center: Tutoring and Other Academic Support Services
https://www.bmcc.cuny.edu/students/lrc/, room S510 (LRC, Writing Center, ESL Lab, Reading Lab), S534 (Math Lab), and F511, 212-220-1383.
Participation in out-of-class academic support services contributes to the learning process and reinforces in-class learning. Students who attend tutoring have a higher pass rate in courses than students who do not attend tutoring. LRC services include in-person and online tutoring for most courses, and special supplemental instruction (SI) sessions for some select course sections. They also provide assistance with classroom technology. The LRC has academic coaches who help students improve their study skills.
Office of Accessibility
www.bmcc.cuny.edu/accessibility, room N360 (accessible entrance: 77 Harrison Street), 212-220-8180, accessibility@bmcc.cuny.edu.
Students who need academic accommodations in connection with a disability must initiate the request with BMCC’s Office of Accessibility (OA). Students need to register with the Office of Accessibility in order to officially disclose their disability status to the College and to determine eligibility for appropriate reasonable accommodations (including any prior IEPs or 504s). Please contact the OA at the start of the semester (or as soon as possible) to coordinate any accommodation request/s: www.bmcc.cuny.edu/accessibility
