Center for Academic Services
Mission Statement
Our mission is to assist students in developing the skills
and strategies to perform as confident, independent, and
active learners. Programs and services are designed to help
students respond effectively to specific academic challenges,
to articulate their own educational goals and to succeed
at their chosen level of the curriculum. This mission is
accomplished in an environment that is respectful and supportive.
What We Do
The Center offers a range of services, including the Academic
Enrichment Program, to help students achieve academic and
personal goals. The Center staff includes the Associate
Dean for Academic Services, academic counselors, several
faculty members, and trained student tutors. We have found
that students who consistently use our services have a better
chance for success.
Tutoring
Students can request academic support for all courses.
We can help with specific assignments and review of course
content, writing papers, math skills, efficient reading
comprehension methods, study techniques, and ways to enhance
memory and concentration.
Students may drop by or make appointments for individual
or small group tutoring sessions. Faculty members may refer
students to the Center for tutoring.
Writing Lab
Students can receive help with all types of writing assignments,
from short essays to longer research papers. We can help
at every stage of the writing process, from choosing a topic,
through drafting, revising, and editing. Help is also available
for word processing/ computer application skills.
Disability Support Services
Each semester, we work with students with physical or
learning disabilities. Accommodations and services may include:
reduced course load, extended time/alternative testing,
readers and scribes, individual proctoring of exams, and
learning strategies instruction.
Academic Counseling
The Center is available to help students make informed
decisions about their studies. Whether these relate to course
work, curricular requirements, or individual learning needs,
the staff is here to help.
