We believe in helping students to develop the skills necessary to be successful learners. Within a supportive environment that fosters intellectual growth, students work collaboratively and one-on-one with support staff to achieve academic success by: 

• gaining an understanding of learning behaviors.
• mastering learning strategies that can be applied to general knowledge acquisition or specific course work.

Students also have access to:

• The Writing Studio: offers individualized writing assistance via peer writing consultants.
• Departmental and Program Peer Tutoring: Peer tutoring is available in the following Departments and Programs: Biology, Chemistry, Math, Spanish and English as a Second or Other Language. If a student is in a course for which tutoring is not provided, special arrangements can be made.
• First Year Seminar (FYS): a four credit course taken first semester freshman year that focuses on an academic topic and includes service learning experiences with a community partner. The course offers a close-knit cohort of fellow new students, exposure to the college learning process, and resources for success. A student’s FYS instructor will also serve as their pre-major advisor.
• College Success Webinar Series for Parents: a once monthly webinar series that features guests from various campus offices, geared towards equipping parents to support their learners from afar and better understand the services available to them.

All students have access to these services for no additional cost.
