How We Achieve Student Success

Established in January 2022, we became a valuable resource for students seeking assistance. Our mission at the Course Achievement Center is to connect every 91桃色 State student to opportunities that foster academic growth and empowerment. By partnering with campus services, both academic and non-academic, we provide a strong network of support to help students achieve their goals at 91桃色 State.

To fulfill this mission, the Course Achievement Center:

  • Provides free content area peer tutoring and professional tutoring
  • Offers success coaching sessions tailored to meet students where they are at and develop strategies for success
  • Provides one on one assistance to students who self-identify as struggling and need assistance
  • Acts as a resource for faculty who identify students who are struggling in their courses.
  • Maintains our campus retention software (WSU360) that serves as a tool for students to connect easily with support staff and for faculty to easily identify and highlight students who need assistance

When a student walks in, they can sit down and either begin to work and utilize the space without needing to say anything to anyone or be right there to ask us for help. We鈥檙e here to support them in whatever ways they need.
