The Student Success Center is an academic lab which provides free tutoring to all currently enrolled students for many of the classes offered at Emmanuel.  Students are encouraged to seek assistance in understanding course lectures, discussions, and readings as well as assistance in completing course assignments. 

One of the main services of the center is to provide writing assistance.  Writers at any stage of the writing process (from brainstorming to final draft )can bring their papers to the center for feedback and collaborative revision.  Student Success Center tutors are trained upperclassmen who have demonstrated excellent skills in their own writing. The tutor's job is not to proofread papers, but rather to guide and coach the writer through the writing process so that the final product fulfills its purpose while being well developed and written in grammatically standard English.  Students may bring their papers to the center for review of issues such as development, clarity, conciseness, and research documentation.  Writers are encouraged to bring multiple drafts to the writing center. Revision is the key to an excellent paper, and expert guidance during the revision stage is helpful.

The Student Success Center is located in Aaron 207.  Students are encouraged to call ext. 2633 for an appointment, but walk-ins are welcome. If a tutor is available, he or she will be glad to help. Tutoring sessions are generally 30 minutes long, but can be scheduled for longer.
