College requires you to build on the learning strategies you developed in high school.
Academic Coaching provides individualized assistance to students in an effort to help them enhance their existing study habits and develop more effective study strategies and behaviors.
Our Academic Coaches can help you with:
- Time management

Supplemental Instruction
Supplemental Instruction(SI) is an academic support program aimed at historically challenging courses and is designed to increase student performance and retention. SI provides regularly scheduled out-of-class study and review sessions facilitated by trained peer SI Leaders.
SI assistance is open to all students enrolled in the course regardless of ability. SI sessions integrate “how to learn” with “what to learn,” meaning that the focus is on discovering how to apply appropriate study strategies in addition to reviewing content material. Students who regularly participate in SI sessions generally earn higher course grades and withdraw less often than non-SI participants.
Writing Center
The Academic Success Writing Center is staffed by Writing Consultants who guide students throughout all phases of the writing process for any assignment in any class. Writing Consultants can assist you with brainstorming, creating an effective thesis, organizing your ideas, developing a draft, revising for a range of audiences and purposes, editing for precision and clarity, research and documentation, and more.
Writing Center Goals:
- To help students become more confident and informed readers and editors of their own writing
- To help students develop strategies for identifying and addressing areas for improvement in their writing
- To guide students in utilizing the writing process to better develop their writing
