Student Academic Services Center

MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE SASC:

The Student Academic Services Center (SASC) is an academic support unit that seeks to enhance the academic performance of all students of Indiana State University through peer tutoring, academic advisement, academic counseling, supplemental instruction programs and University 101: Learning in the University Community (2 credit hours).  The Center also provides special academic support programs such as the Athletic Academic Support Program, Open Preference Program (OP), Academic Opportunity Program (AOP), Student Support Services (SSS).  The Center also provides special programs for high school students and their parents through the Center for 21st Century Scholars!

VISION STATEMENT FOR THE SASC:

The Student Academic Services Center hopes to enhance the access mission of Indiana State University by further developing, expanding, and articulating its services to students, faculty, and programs by providing support services (academic preparation, advisement, counseling, classroom instruction, tutoring, mentoring, disability services, first year seminars, and learning communities) and by employing a diverse and able staff to serve as teachers, mentors, and role models for at-risk students, nontraditional students, diverse populations of students, students with disabilities, student-athletes, and students drawn from the ranks of the lower socio-economic class in order that their collegiate opportunities and the likelihood of their retention and academic and professional success continue to grow.  In so doing, the Center will provide the opportunity for preprofessional experience through positions for student workers as graduate assistants, interns, mentors, tutors, and persons seeking practicum placement.  Additionally, the SASC hopes to enhance the visibility of its programs and services within both the academic and the local communities to increase program participation by faculty, students, and other interested citizens.
