Academic Success Center
1st Floor Seton Hall
Our Mission: The Academic Success Center (ASC) contributes to students’ academic achievement and fosters their independence as learners through teaching, tutoring, and academic mentoring. Students can request and access a variety of services and programs through the ASC, both in-person and online. Below is a sample of what we offer.
Tutoring: Students can request peer tutoring, at no charge, for many 100- and some 200-level courses. Tutors may help students clarify textbook material, discuss ideas, go over practice problems, provide study techniques, and/or review test-taking strategies. Groups consist of 1-5 students and meet for one hour sessions, twice weekly. Students can complete the tutor request form on our website or in our office, located on the first floor of Seton Hall. Drop-in math tutoring, no appointment needed, is also offered for a variety of 100 and 200 level math courses. To request a tutor or get more information, please visit www.niagara.edu/tutoring
Writing Center: Professional and peer tutors are available to assist students in the Academic Success Center, Seton Hall, first floor. Sessions last up to 30 minutes, and tutors are trained to help with any aspect of the writing process, from brainstorming, to outlining, to drafting. There is no proofreading! Students can sign up for an appointment in three ways: on myNU under the “Resources” tab, by calling 716.286.8073, or by stopping by our office. For more information, please visit www.niagara.edu/writing-center.
Accessibility Services: Accessibility Services is committed to creating equal access for all Niagara University students with disabilities. Our mission is to provide accommodations and support to students with documented disabilities who are registered with our office that will enable them to fully participate in programs and services available at Niagara University. Students can request academic and non-academic accommodations, such as testing, note taking, alternate format, housing accommodations, etc. Students can request accommodations any time, but the earlier in the semester, the better!
