ONLINE WRITING CENTER 

We offer writing services to A-State Online students so they may develop habits that lead to successful written communication. Our staff consists of tutors from various writing backgrounds that understand the struggles and joys of writing. We provide tutoring for all writing stages, from understanding the prompt and outlining to grammar and finalizing the paper. Successful writing comes from developing a network of interrelated skills and strategies, and we look forward to working with you to aid in this process.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, you can contact Stephanie Dekok at sdekok@astate.edu.

ACCESS AND ACCOMMODATION SERVICES (A&AS)

Many service members and Veterans are experiencing post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSD) or Traumatic brain injury (TBI) secondary to their military service, and these symptoms are associated with academic difficulties.
 
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a diagnosed condition that can develop after a person is exposed to a traumatic event. PTSD is a very common condition for many service members and veterans after military service. Symptoms can include disturbing thoughts, feelings, or dreams related to the events, mental or physical distress, difficulty sleeping, and changes in how a person thinks and feels.
 
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an injury to the brain caused by an external force. The symptoms of the injury can vary. Mild or moderate TBI symptoms can include mood changes, trouble with concentration, headaches, difficulty with sleep, and reduced motor coordination. Severe TBI can cause greatly reduced or lack of motor control, greatly reduced ability or inability to speak, and restlessness or agitation.
 
If you are diagnosed with the above conditions, are experiencing any symptoms detailed above, or experiencing other academic difficulties, please contact the office of Access and Accommodation Services. Access & Accommodation Services focuses on facilitating opportunities to stimulate and create a barrier free environment for those with disabilities and eliminating academic, social, and physical obstacles which impede students' access to a higher education. We believe every student has the right to achieve to their highest ability academically, socially, and intellectually. There is no cost to students using any of the services provided by A&AS. Please see contact information below and reach out if you feel this office can assist you.
