Academic Success Center

We help good students to become even better students.

The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides both professional and peer tutoring for all traditional and non-traditional (Adult Studies) undergraduate students. Our Professional Writing Staff provide individual assistance to students in all areas of written expression. Our Learning Support Specialist and Academic Coach work individually with students who seek guidance in the areas of reading comprehension, time-management, study-skills, and test anxiety. Peer tutoring is provided in most subject areas, and takes place both individually and in small groups.

To learn more about the services that our professional staff can offer you, as a student or faculty member, please visit the ASC on MyDSU.

Students with documented physical, psychological, and/ or learning disabilities may request accommodations through the Office of Student Accessibility.

Gateway to Success

Through student engagement activities and academics, the Gateway To Success program elevates first generation students by building relationships and leadership opportunities across campus as students navigate their college experience.

Housed in the Academic Success Center, the Gateway To Success Program provides academic support and college readiness skills to students who are first generation college attendees or high financial need.

Gateway To Success staff members encourage students to develop as campus leaders and to graduate with marketable skills. Students who have outstanding leadership abilities and academic potential work in close connection with staff members to achieve personal, social, and academic goals.
