Louisiana Christian University Student Success Center (SSC)
A comprehensive one-stop-shop for academic support services on campus. The goal of the SSC is to increase retention by providing students with access to free tutoring in core courses, thereby fostering the independent, critical thinking skills they need to succeed in college and beyond. Located in the Norton Library, the SSC offers a range of academic assistance in the form of individual tutoring, study groups, and other support services for LCU’s student body. Students meet with peer tutors who have excelled in the course they tutor and who have been trained to facilitate discussion on course content. All of the programs and initiatives offered in the Center are free for LCU students.
Writing Assistance
The first stop for writing help is the Writing Center, located in the Student Success Center. Trained writing assistants work one-on-one with students on every aspect of the writing process. We typically ask students to make appointments, but walk-ins are welcome if we have an appointment available.
We provide free help on writing assignments, including:
- Analytical essays
- Argumentative essays
- Response papers
- Research papers in all majors
- Book reports and reviews
- Film and drama reviews
- Lab reports
- Critiques
- Proposals, business reports, letters, and memos
- Service-learning writing projects
Students receive help with all phases of the writing process, from brainstorming ideas to synthesizing sources, tightening arguments, and revising for clarity and style. Writing assistants do not edit or correct students' papers; instead, they work with students to help them strengthen their critical thinking skills and improve their own writing.
Math Assistance
Tutors in math are located in the Math Center in the Student Success Center. Peer tutors meet one-on-one with students who need help in math, from the fundamentals of algebra through caLCUlus, differential equations and linear algebra. Appointments are best, but not necessary as long as you arrive when a tutor is available.
