We've made it even easier to access our peer tutoring services and workshops on Zoom. Just click the yellow buttons to check open hours for the subject areas you're interested in. Follow the prompts on your screen to sign in to the eSARS system and select from a list of available services – including drop-in sessions, weekly scheduled sessions and workshops. If you have trouble, use the "Click Here" to ask for help.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to bookmark the SSC homepage to access all services and do NOT bookmark the separate eSARS links, as you will have cache issues. You must close all eSARS windows prior to starting a new one or you may have trouble signing into the correct site. You may need to clear your history cache if you are having trouble.

We Provide

Our Goal
After participating in Student Success Center programs for an appropriate amount of time, and within the context of each student's individual needs, students will express a more positive attitude toward the subject they are studying, use effective learning skills, and improve their academic performance.
