The Academic Success Center (ASC) collaborates with faculty to support students through the process of learning and developing their identities as scholars and practitioners. The ASC’s holistic tiers of support are designed to provide each student with a personalized, meaningful learning experience. We align our resources to meet the skill and competency needs identified by faculty as crucial to successfully completing a course of study. To read more about each tier, review ASC policies, and meet the staff, visit the Learn the ASC page.
