Academic Success Services

The Student Academic Success Services office (SASS) offers assistance to students
who want to achieve their academic goals efficiently and effectively. High school
often does not fully prepare students for the academic expectations and rigors
of college. Students can use SASS services to develop strategies for studying,
reading, writing, and test-taking, as well as to address behaviors and attitudes
that sabotage performance, such as poor time management, academic anxiety, and
procrastination.
The center offers courses, academic counseling, and workshops. The SASS
Web site has more than 100 self-help handouts with tips and information
on academic success. Students on academic probation are encouraged to use the
center for intensive and individualized help. For faculty and staff, SASS staff
is available for consultations and presentations. |
