Academic Success Center

The Academic Success Center, C-227, provides free academic support to students currently enrolled in at least six credit hours. Instructors in math, science, written/oral communication, reading, and study skills provide individualized help/guidance for students in course work and/or to upgrade necessary basic skills.

Each semester the ASC offers six study skill seminars, Time Management, Technical Reading Techniques, Note-taking Tips, Memory Strategies, Objective Testing, and Essay Test Writing. Printed seminar schedules are available in the ASC and on the ASC website. A brief computerized Learning Styles Inventory is offered in the ASC for students to take to identify their dominant learning style. This is followed by a one-on-one conference with a staff member to discuss appropriate study strategies for successful learning. The Center coordinates the college's Peer Tutoring program which offers tutors for most college classes. Peer Tutors are trained by ASC staff and provide free one-on-one or group tutoring as needed.

The ASC provides testing rooms for students needing special testing accommodations. ASC hours during fall and spring semesters are: Monday-Thursday, 7:30-4:00; Friday, 7:30-3:30. Instructors are available Monday-Thursday, 8:05-3:30 and Friday 9:10-1:20. The ASC is closed on Mondays only during the Open Hour, 12:15-1:30. Further information is available at 608.785.9198
