Center for Academic Success (CAS)

To ensure that the student has adequate academic support from the beginning of their program, the Admissions Committee identifies the interventions students may need based on the admissions scaling rubric for the writing assessment. The Chair of the Admissions Committee submits a Beginning Learning Enhancement Plan (BLEP) to the Office of Student Affairs / Center for Academic Success. Current students who experience difficulty in their coursework and have a need for academic support should first contact their faculty and their faculty advisor to create a Learning Enhancement Plan (LEP) to be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs / Center for Academic Success. Faculty tutoring is available for SON courses. The SON will try to accommodate students’ schedules in determining tutoring sessions, but students should realize that they may need to adjust their schedules to receive the kind of remedial or tutoring support required. SON students on a LEP will need to attend tutoring according to the schedule mandated by the Office of Student Affairs / Center for Academic Success. The Student Success Coordinator will monitor student progress. The plan is completed when the student successfully completes the course indicated on the LEP.
