The Center for Academic Success will empower students to reach their academic goals by providing outside-of-classroom assistance so that they can study effectively, handle assignments, prepare for tests, and complete their programs. CAS partners with academic departments to develop supplemental and/or alternative approaches to enhance student learning, retention, and success.

Our goals:

Provide Parkland students with accessible, affordable, and comprehensive instructional and support services responsive to individual learning styles, academic skill levels, and socio-emotional expectations.

Create a stimulating, low-anxiety learning environment and situations that build student confidence, encourage student learning, and assist students in successfully adapting to academic and social expectations.

Introduce personal and academic growth opportunities that promote student academic persistence.

Advocate for student ownership in their individual and collective educational planning process.

Offer Parkland faculty, staff, and administrators comprehensive academic support that enhances their respective learning and teaching styles.

Continuously assess the Center's performance via formative and summative evaluations in order to enhance delivery of services.
