The Academic Support Center and Student Support Services afford GSC students a host of options to increase their academic success. Foundations Math and English classes are available, and there is a full range of academic services offered for students with disabilities and special needs. The center also has a writing clinic and learning lab, peer tutoring, and offers academic counseling and advising.
Student Support Services is a federally fund program offered to low income, first generation students, or those with documented physical or learning disabilities. The program is designed to help these students succeed in college through educational and cultural activities.
The tutoring services at the center are available to any GSC student who needs academic help in any subject. 芒聙聹Students who request
tutoring are matched up with tutors who will be able to help in a specific field such as math, physics, English, or any other subject,芒聙聺 said Amy Fiddler, Director of Academic Support Services at 香妃直播 State College. Student tutors are paid but must be recommended by a faculty member to be a tutor. Tutoring services are free of charge to any GSC student. The Academic Support Center offers tutoring from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday on a walk-in basis, or you may make an appointment. Tutoring is also being offered at Pickens Hall from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. These sessions are open to any GSC student, not just Pickens Hall residents. The ASC is also active in providing tutoring for GSC athletic teams. The Pioneer football and softball teams are required to attend tutoring sessions, and other teams take advantage of the service as well.
芒聙聹We want students to understand what services are available to help them be successful academically. We have a wonderful staff that is willing to do whatever is necessary to help them achieve their goals,芒聙聺 said Fiddler.
