A Message from the Director of the SSC

Welcome to the Student Success Center (SSC) website at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The Student Success Center is a unit composed of three academic support service programs: the Learning Assistance Center (LAC), Special Support Services (SSS) and Supplemental Instruction Program (SIP).

All 3 programs are located in McIver Hall. To find us, just use UNCG's online campus map: http://www.uncg.edu/online_map/2dmap/nameMap.htm

 

The Learning Assistance Center (LAC)

is solely funded by UNCG and serves the entire university student body. Support services include walk-in, group, and individual tutoring; academic skills assessment; computer assisted academic skills enhancement; and academic skills workshops throughout the academic year. The LAC staff provides programming and services to help undergraduate students improve their academic performance and achieve their educational goals. All of the services are available to any student at no cost to the student.

Special Support Services (SSS)

is jointly funded by The U.S. Department of Education and UNCG. SSS is a TRIO program available to assist first-generation college students and students with disabilities. SSS promotes support services that help students overcome academic, social, and cultural barriers to higher education. Program students receive an array of comprehensive services that include: counseling; academic skills assessment and development; individualized peer and professional tutoring; graduate and professional school guidance; workshops and opportunities to attend educational and cultural events. Students can utilize the SSS academic services from the time of enrollment through graduation.

Supplemental Instruction Program (SIP)

is solely funded by UNCG and is a series of weekly discussion/ review sessions for students taking historically difficult courses. SIP is available for all students enrolled in specific course sections who want to improve their grades. SIP sessions consist of a discussion facilitated by an SIP leader who has successfully completed the course. The SIP leader knows the class content and sits through class with you every day. Statistics show that students who attend SIP attain from 1/3 to 1 whole letter grade better than those who do not. This could be you!

Don't hesitate to peruse the SSC website. Survey the many different academic tools that are offered by the SSC. Discover the ways to build a foundation for academic success and life-long learning. Let one of the SSC staff members serve as your guide during your undergraduate career at UNCG.
