Academic Success Center - The Center for Student Success
The Academic Success Center (ASC) partners with students and faculty to enhance student academic skills outside of the classroom and provide equal access to information presented in the classroom. Our focus is to support students in becoming independent learners and to assist in the achievement of individual learning goals. We are committed to working with students to promote their academic success and ultimate goal of graduation.
Drop-in Tutoring
The Academic Success Center (ASC) offers students open-group tutoring sessions in the academic areas of math, accounting, business, computers the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics), psychology and communication sciences and disorders (CSD). These sessions do not require an appointment. Since tutoring schedules change every semester, students are encouraged to stop by the Academic Success Center or check the ASC website to get the updated information. Tutoring schedules will also be available on the Navigate App when finalized.
Study Clusters
Tutorial study clusters give students the opportunity to work through rigorous course work, with the support of classmates and a peer tutor. Students experiencing difficulty with a particular course may contact the Academic Success Center to inquire about creating a study cluster, or access the request form from the website at https://www.strose.edu/student-development/student-success/academic-success-center/study-clusters/.
Science and Math Skill Development
The Academic Success Center offers learning-enrichment programs and academic support for students who seek to improve their math placement scores or get extra help with science or math. Students meet one-on-one or in small groups, and appointments are encouraged. Students may call or stop by the Academic Success Center to speak with the Assistant Director/Student Development Specialist.
Students in Education programs may contact the Assistant Director/Student Development Specialist for content support and strategies to increase familiarity with New York State Learning Standards and best practices in the sciences and mathematics.
The Writing Center
The Writing Center welcomes all student writers, from first-year students to those in graduate programs, from students who find writing challenging to strong writers looking to be even more effective. Every writer can benefit from feedback and individual attention. Tutors are trained to support both native speakers of English and English Language Learners in the development and enhancement of writing skills. During half-hour and hour-long tutoring sessions, trained tutors assist students with any stages of the writing process: selecting a topic, brainstorming, outlining, drafting, organization, research, documentation, and revision. The Writing Center also offers on-line tutoring. Hours can be found in the Navigate app, as well as the Writing Center website.
