Access & Disability Resources (ADR)
Individuals with disabilities will find that Pima strives to make all college events and activities accessible to them. The ADR office serves students and the community.
To request ADR services, students can complete an application or contact any ADR office to schedule an appointment. Students should email ADR at ADRhelp@pima.edu if they have questions before starting the process.
For more information, visit the ADR webpage.
Advising

The Learning Centers
Free academic support to all Pima students can be found at the Campus Learning Centers, located at each campus and virtually. The Campus Learning Centers are places of connection and support for all students regardless of their need. Normalizing connections with our Learning Centers helps to build a supportive community with fellow students and contributes to their academic success and learning journey. Students can connect with learning support in-person at each campus, virtually through our Virtual Learning Center, or through our online partner, NetTutor.

College Success Coaching
The top priority of College Success Coaches is to build relationships with our students and support each student’s success. College Success Coaches partner with our students to better understand the student’s world, identify what’s getting in their way (academically/personally), and co-create solutions to help the student overcome their top challenges.
Note: Coaching is not counseling. Coaching is focused on creating one’s future through taking action, such as setting and reaching goals and developing new skills.
For more information, visit the College Success Coaching webpage.
