Welcome to the Academic Success Center

Your go-to place to level up your learning!

Looking for a boost in your classes, help with technology, a quick workshop, or just a quiet place to study?

The ASC is for all COS students — whether you're transitioning from high school, returning after time away, balancing work and family, aiming to get an academic edge, working to regain eligibility, or somewhere in between. We honor your individual path and definition of success, and we’re committed to meeting you where you are with resources and encouragement that fit you.

The ASC has been a great spot for me to do my school work personally. I get most of, if not all of my work done at the ASC and it's because it provides a good spot to do your work and it also provides help if you are stuck on something. — COS Student

I like the close-knit community that the ASC offers. – COS Peer Tutor

What We're All About


Students sitting at table in the ASC

At the Academic Success Center (ASC), we know every student brings unique strengths, goals, and experiences — and we're here to partner with you and celebrate your journey as you grow, thrive, and reach new milestones.

Located in the Learning Resources Center (LRC) on the Weed Campus, we offer tools and services that empower you to:

  • Feel a stronger sense of belonging at COS
  • Understand how you learn best
  • Build skills and confidence for college success

Our support is personalized, welcoming, and built around your goals. Whether you're facing a challenge or reaching for the next level, we're on your team.

I think that the welcoming atmosphere is the most helpful for students. As soon as they enter the ASC, I think it's made clear to them that they can find help here. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging, and I think it gives a lot of students the confidence to ask for help. – COS Peer Tutor

I learned various techniques to manage my stress and create goals to make some of the more challenging assignments feel easier. I learned a lot of these things from the ASC … — COS Student Athlete
