Academic Success Center

Academic Success Center


Located in the upper level of the Everett Building, the ASC provides educational resources at no charge to Lindsey Wilson College students. Included under the "umbrella" of services provided by the ASC are peer tutoring for all subjects including mathematics, test proctoring for students with documented accommodations, and writing consultations (Consultations offered through the Writing Center located in Slider Building, Room 200.) The overall goal of the ASC is to help students be successful in reaching their individual academic goals.

For more information about receiving tutoring or applying to be a tutor, contact Ms. Hall, Director of the Academic Success Center, at 270-384-8038 or asc@lindsey.edu.


PEER TUTORING:

The goal of peer tutoring is to effectively help the students help themselves, to assist them in becoming independent learners, and to achieve their individual academic goals.

MATHEMATICS TUTORING:

Now located in the Academic Success Center, students will still find a place conducive to the learning and doing of the mathematical sciences outside of the regular classroom. Students can request a mathematics tutor in the Academic Success Center or submit a request online.

The Center is equipped with computers running the Hawkes Learning software applications used in mathematics courses. Students may use the computers any time the Center is open.

WRITING CENTER CONSULTATION

As students formulate, write and revise projects for any course or other purpose, the Writing Center offers free, one-to-one feedback from trained, peer writing consultants. The Center understands that no two writers are alike. The dedicated staff works to bring out the best possible writer in each person regardless of age, cultural background, writing experience or academic discipline. The Writing Center is open for in-person consultations both scheduled and drop-in. Contact lwcwc@lindsey.edu, if you have any questions or concerns.
