Through Upswing’s online platform, students are able to connect with Upswing’s network of coaches, who provide academic support at times when the College’s tutors may be unavailable, such as at night or during weekends. Students will be able to get help with classes at times that best suit their schedule, and there is no cost to students to use the online resource.
Upswing is another free resource for students, giving them the tools to be successful in the classroom. Students can access their personalized Upswing portal at www.richmondcc.upswing.io.
