Student Success
Our work to support success focuses on creating spaces for students to engage in their coursework and approach to learning through many group and individual tutoring options. We offer a wide variety of opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of who they are as learner, communication, and ultimately scholar. We support student success by providing academic coaching, accommodations and support for students with disabilities, and language support for English language learners. We also engage with faculty and with staff to improve the coordination and professional development for academic advisors.
