Academic Achievement

The Office of Academic Achievement serves as a resource for St. Lawrence students by helping them to identify academic areas of strength and areas in need of improvement and to implement specific strategies to achieve greater academic success.  The Office of Academic Achievement hosts the following programs:

Free Peer Tutoring Program

Contact Coordinator of Academic Achievement at 229-5600, for detailed information about these programs.

Academic Support
      The goal of this office is to help students achieve their academic potential or to help students discover and address what might be interfering with their academic success.  Contact Coordinator of Academic Support at 229-5537, for detailed information about these programs.

Academic Services for Students with Special Needs
The Office of Academic Services for Students with Special Needs is here to ensure that all students with disabilities can freely and actively participate in all facets of University life, to coordinate support services and programs that enable students with disabilities to reach their educational potential, and to increase the level of awareness among all members of the University so that students with disabilities are able to perform at a level limited only by their abilities, not their disabilities.

Students who identify themselves as having a disability and who provide documentation of the disability are assisted in finding the academic assistance they need.  Although we do not provide evaluations (nor do most colleges and universities), we do assist them in the process of obtaining an evaluation.  If the evaluation identifies a disability and accommodations are needed, we help students receive them.  Contact Director of Academic Services for Students with Special Needs at 229-5104, for information or assistance.
