Academic Support

Academic Support: Students have the opportunity to work with counselors on course selection, study skills, time management, learning strategies and much more. The LASSI is also available to assess student learning.

Academic Tutoring: FREE one on one and/or group tutoring is available for SSS students who are not able to access CAS tutoring services (restrictions apply).  Requests for tutoring can be made up to approximately 1 month before the end of the term. However, requests will be filled on a first come first serve basis and are dependant on tutor availability SSS students need to request a tutor through their SSS counselor. The SSS counselor will then forward the request to the tutor coordinator. The tutor coordinator will assign the SSS student to a tutor. That tutor will contact the student via e-mail (unless otherwise specified) to set up an initial meeting. At the initial meeting, the SSS student and tutor will discuss meeting times, locations, frequency, etc.

The SSS student will be asked to agree to the following expectations:

•  I will make every effort to work with the tutor in a timely manner on setting up a time and place to meet. If I decide that I do not want to meet with the tutor, I will let the tutor and my SSS counselor know ASAP.
• I must contact my tutor 24 hours in advance if I am unable to attend a tutoring session.
• I understand that if I miss 2 scheduled totoring sessions, I will not receive further assustance for that subject through the SSS Tutor Program.
• I will let the tutor know when I no longer need their services and fill out a Tutor Program evaluation.

If the SSS student needs to cancel a tutoring appointment, he/she should call or e-mail the tutor directly.

Loft:  The "Loft" is a study environment provided for SSS students that is furnished with desk top computers, T.V. and VCR, wipe board, comfortable furniture, and other academic resources. The LOFT can be accessed 24 hours a day via your student id card. Please be respectful of the equipment and noise level in the Loft. Also, please clean up after yourself so the space remains a positive one for all SSS students.

Transcripts: SSS students are eligible for at least one free transcript from the registrar's   office.  Coordination needs to be done with the student's counselor.
