Academic Success Center
Academic Advising Center
Writing Center
The mission of the Academic Success Center (ASC) is to provide academic guidance through peer-to-peer support, enhanced learning skills, and an atmosphere conducive to the learning process. The ASC provides free services such as individual or group tutoring, Course Assistance, Supplemental Instruction, and meta-cognition/study strategy workshops.
The Academic Advising Center works collaboratively with students to develop achievable educational and career plans through a commitment and understanding of the Nevada State College curriculum. Academic Advisors empower students to take ownership of their degree while working together to create a realistic pathway to graduation.
The Writing Center provides walk-in consultations with current NSC students trained in writing pedagogy. We provide one-to-one support for writing in any class, at any stage in the process. From brainstorming an assignment, to making effective choices in expression, to incorporating feedback for revisions, Writing Specialists partner with students in many areas to improve their writing.
