Mission Statement
The Student Success Center strives to provide strong academic support services for all students who require specialized programming. In addition, Student Success strives to enrich the academic experience of students who demonstrate academic excellence.

Purpose and Philosophy
The Student Success Center is designed to offer academic support services and enrichment programming to all students on the Greenville College campus. Student Success services are based on the premise that all students benefit from some type of academic support and that those students who are successful in college are those who have learned to take charge of their own learning and utilize everything available to help them achieve their goals. The Center is an integral part of the total academic picture on campus. Its purpose is to supplement the classroom experience through the Honors Program, and Off-Campus Programs, to lend support through the Tutoring Program, and be a resource to both students and faculty.

The Student Success Center is…

  • a place for students to find help in specific classes
  • a place for students to develop and sharpen previously acquired skills
  • a place for students to find help in assessing their academic needs by means of either tutoring or working with a staff member
  • a place for students to discover how to work more efficiently
  • a place for students to interact with each other as they learn
  • a place to train students for leadership and service roles in the academic community in the areas of tutoring
  • a place for faculty to use as a resource in helping their students
  • a place to find encouragement for the academic tasks a student faces

The Student Success Center is NOT...

  • a remedial center designed only for students lacking in basic skills
  • a "band aid" for academic problems

Types of Students Served...

  • students wanting tutoring in General Education classes
  • students in classes requiring writing
  • students specifically referred by faculty or staff
  • under prepared students
  • good students who want to make better grades (Note: Most of the students served by Student Success programs are average or above average students who want to maintain or raise their grades)
