The Academic Success Center, located in the Harris and Betts Smith Learning Center, is the primary source of academic support programs on campus. The Disabilities Services Office and the EOF Program are part of the services offered.
Students can request academic coaching including goal setting and time management training through the Academic Success Center. Our Disability Services and Educational Opportunity Fund programs also provide support services to our Centenary students and are located within the Academic Success Center.
The Academic Success Center holds a variety of success strategy workshops. These workshops teach students strategies to improve their organizational skills both inside and out of the classroom. During the Spring 2010 semester, students can attend the following workshops:
Weekly Success tips are also distributed to all students via email and archived in Blackboard. These tips provide students with information concerning test anxiety, group projects, etc. All of the services provided by the Academic Success Center are free.
The Academic Success Center looks to assist all students in achieving their fullest academic potential through the personalized attention each student receives. Every student is recognized as an individual.
All CAPS students interested in receiving tutoring should contact Gail Ahnemann at ahnemanng@centenarycollege.edu or extension 5049. Graduate students interested in receiving tutoring should contact their academic advisor.

The HUB, located in the lower level of the Seay Building (across from Tilly's), is administered by the Academic Success Center. All professional tutoring sessions take place in the HUB. Peer writing tutors are available on a drop in basis Monday-Thursday from 1-2pm. Students may come, either voluntarily or by referral, to meet individually with a trained peer tutor during this time. Students also have the option of scheduling an individual appointment with a peer tutor. All sessions must be booked at least a day in advance. The HUB is available for students at all levels of writing proficiency.
Students are encouraged to be active participants in both their professional and peer tutoring sessions and experiment with a variety of ideas through brainstorming. The sessions are interactive and work to empower students rather than enable them.
Online Writing Lab (OWL)
Online tutoring is also available for students whose schedule prohibits a face to face meeting with a HUB peer tutor. This service allows students to submit writing for peer review. It is used extensively by Centenary's students to assist in successful writing.
