Academic Success Center

The Academic Success Center (ASC) empowers students to develop skills to make their college career more successful. ASC programming helps motivate students to set higher goals in school and life thereby holding them accountable for demonstrating attitudes and behaviors that coincide with reaching their goals. The Center aids students in maximizing their success by providing a wide range of free academic support services staffed with trained professionals. The staff works closely with other departments on campus to provide a holistic approach to student support. The services provided are designed to give students the tools and information they need to be independent learners, enabling them to thrive and students reach their ultimate potential. 

Academic Success consists of the academic advising, academic counseling and intervention services and the Tutorial Center. The services provided by ASC include advising workshops, supplemental instruction, student learning assistants, and early and attendance alert notifications. The Academic Success Center provides courses: OAS 103 which is an academic recovery course for students readmitted to the university and/or display a need for support through academic recovery and OAS 201 which is a leadership course to empower students academically, civically, and professionally through leadership training development. Additionally, the Academic Success Center facilitates the University’s Academic Standards Committee’s appeal process.
