Academic Success Center

The Academic Success Center is home to multiple student support services such as Advising, Transfer Support, Academic Coaching, Tutoring, Peer Assisted Study Sessions, and Testing. All of these services are located in Genesis Hall, right beside the Post Office, the Wellness Center, and the Art Annex. We also host multiple on-campus events and workshops throughout the year, so be sure to follow our Instagram and Facebook, as well as keeping an eye out for emails and flyers across campus. Take a moment to look through our site to learn more about these services.

 

The Student Wellness Center of Lander University is the point of initial contact for all students with disabilities. The Disabilities Coordinator notifies the faculty of the appropriate accommodations for both the classroom as well as for testing, assures that students receive the necessary physical accommodations based on their medical condition, and stores all documentation relevant to students' disabilities.  All accommodations are implemented according to ADA regulations.

The Academic Success Center provides required testing accommodations for students with disabilities based on the students’ accommodations provided by the Student Wellness Center.

For placement testing, accommodations will be made for physically disabled students or those with certified learning disabilities. Students must first coordinate with the Director of Disability Services to set up these accommodations. After approval, you must coordinate with your professors and the Testing Coordinator, Dana Long, to utilize these accommodations.

Students with disabilities must contact:
