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)
