Centenary believes that its mission is to ensure that every student succeeds in fulfilling his/her college aspirations and are well prepared for careers and life-long learning.  The institution provides a range of support services to assist all students in improving their learning skills and academic development.

The Academic Success Center, located in the Harris and Betts Smith Learning Center, is the primary source of academic support programs on campus.

Through the Academic Success Center, students may request tutoring themselves or by instructor referral. Students wishing to change their major during the semester must make their requests directly through the Academic Success Center.

All CAPS students interested in receiving tutoring should contact Suzie Casadevall at casadevalls@centenarycollege.edu or extension 5013.  Graduate students interested in receiving tutoring should contact their academic advisor.

Students are encouraged to participate in early registration each semester.  Academic coaching is also available to assist in the improvement of academic performance.  This program is open to all students who need assistance in the development of notetaking techniques, study strategies, time management skills, etc.  All of our services are free.

Other Academic Services

Athletic Study Hall
There is mandatory athletic study hall for all freshmen athletes and those under a 2.5 cumulative GPA. If you need more information speak to Iris Correa at correar@centenarycollege.edu.

The HUB: "Where Higher Understanding Begins"
The HUB Writing Center is a place where students may come, either voluntarily or on referral, for individual and small group instruction in how best to meet the requirements of any writing they do.  Our staff helps students learn to write on their own -no one does the writing for them.

The HUB is located at the back of the Seay Building, lower level across the hall from Tilly's.

Students consult with a peer tutor or self-help materials, coming once or often to meet their immediate and long-range goals.  In essence, the Writing Center is a place where students write and talk about their writing with trained tutors who are both Centenary students and good writers.

Online Tutoring
Also available is online tutoring. It is extensively used by all of Centenary's students. The online tutoring is dedicated to helping you succeed.

There are two ways to take advantage of this 24/7 service:

1. Log on when the writing center is open and converse with a tutor, similar to instant messaging.
2. Get online tutoring support with a 48-hour response commitment. Submit your paper for review at any time, a facilitator will access it, work on it, and get it back to you with edits and recommendations, all within 48 hours.
