Happy New Year from the Center for Academic Success!  We look forward to working with faculty and students this semester. Feel free to come down and visit us in the lower level of Sangamon Hall and speak with our staff about the many services we offer to help students reach their goals and achieve academic success. Here are some helpful materials:

spring-2017-service-hours This is a great resource to include with your syllabus on the first day of class and to post on bulletin boards in your office. You will notice that hours for some of our services have changed from previous semesters.

smart-start-seminar-flyer-spring-2017 This can be included with your syllabus or posted in your classroom. Our seminars teach students a variety of proven strategies for success in college level courses.  All of the seminars cover the same topics, so students may choose the one day and time that works best with their schedules. Smart Start Seminars are particularly important for first semester students who are new to college courses.

class-visit-form-updated This is a great way to bring effective college level study strategies directly to your students! By completing this form and sending it back to me, you can make arrangements for an Academic Success Professional to come to your class and help your students improve basic skills such as note-taking, test preparation, memorization, and much more. Note: If you are teaching classes at any of the LLCC Outreach Centers, we can bring a class visit webinar to you via Skype!

cas-make-up-testing-form Please use this form to provide our testing proctor with necessary details regarding how you would like your make-up tests to be administered in the Center for Academic Success. Please also include the names of the students who will be allowed to take each make-up test. For your convenience, you may email the completed make-up testing form, along with an electronic copy of your test, to castesting@llcc.edu.
