Academic Integrity
At Webster University, we value academic integrity as our mission is to ensure high-quality learning experiences that transform students for global citizenship and individual excellence. Our community plays a critical role in upholding our values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.
Part of maintaining academic integrity is utilizing the resources available to students at Webster University.
Assistive Technology
Assistive technology is available for students who need additional support.
If you have any questions about assistive technology, send an email to atarc@webster.edu.
While many forms of assistive technology are available only to students with applicable disability accommodations, some technology and software is available to all students. Kurzweil 3000, a program that assists students with reading and writing, is an example of free software that is available to all students, undergraduate and graduate, throughout Webster's global system.
Disability Accommodations
Disability accommodations are available through the Reeg Academic Resource Center, and Webster University considers admission, financial aid, program and activity applications without regard to disability. The Reeg Academic Resource Center's Academic ADA Coordinator helps St. Louis and Webster University Online students with documented physical, psychological, medical and/or learning disabilities to obtain the accommodations they need to have equal access to information and equal opportunity for program success. At extended sites and international campuses, the site director or a staff designee assists students with disability accommodations.
If you have any questions about disability accommodations, send an email to disability@webster.edu.
Testing Center
The Reeg ARC's Testing Center proctors rescheduled tests with an instructor's approval, accommodated tests, MBA prerequisite waiver exams, language placement exams and various other exams. Appointments should be made at least 24 hours in advance of the requested testing time.

If you have any questions about Testing Center services or want to make an appointment, call 314-246-8225 or send an email to arc@webster.edu.
Transitions
The Transitions program supports conditionally-admitted undergraduate students by preparing them for the academic rigor of Webster University. The Transitions program provides students with overall knowledge of available University resources. Specifically, the Transitions program serves students who are conditionally accepted to the University and have 30 or fewer hours of college coursework completed. The transition to college can be challenging, which is why Webster University offers the summer residential Transition and Academic Prep (TAP) program for Transitions students. If you have any questions about the Transitions or TAP program, please call 314-246-8768 or email transitions@webster.edu.
Tutoring
The Tutoring Program has a pool of capable tutors available to work one-on-one or in small groups with students to help them achieve greater confidence, independence and success as learners. Individual peer tutoring is available by appointment for both short-term “catch-up” work and ongoing support (see the schedule below, and make an appointment). Online tutoring services through NetTutor are available to students worldwide. To access these services, log in to WorldClassRoom (Canvas), open any course shell and click on NetTutor in the left-hand course menu, then select the subject or group area most appropriate. For questions or further assistance, click on the Help icon in WorldClassRoom and select the Peer Tutoring Request Form.
If you have any questions about the tutoring program, call 314-246-7107 or send an email to tutoring@webster.edu.
Spring 2023 available tutoring subjects are provided below. Students should review
available appointment times in MyWCOnline and schedule a tutoring appointment. Students will meet with the peer tutor at the scheduled appointment time (Central

Visit MyWCOnline to view the Writing Center schedule and/or book a writing appointment.
If it is your first time to MyWCOnline, you need to register for an account. Then you will be able to see and book any available days and times to meet your project deadlines. You will then meet with the writing coach at the scheduled appointment time (CST). Writing support is available either in person in the Reeg Academic Resource Center in 40 Loretto Hall or virtually through Zoom (links found below next to each coach's "about" section in your appointment details). See the video above for a walkthrough of how to make an appointment for a live session using MyWCOnline.
If you do not see a day and time that fits your schedule, you can also use NetTutor for writing support. Follow the NetTutor link in any WorldClassRoom (Canvas) course shell, pick the subject you need (or "Writing" for general writing advice), and select the type of service you would like: a live tutoring session, question drop off or paper drop off. See the NetTutor section for more details about this service!
If you have any questions about writing support, send an email to writing@webster.edu.
