Academic Support Services is a key part of the COMPASS Center (Career and Opportunity Mentorship for Personal, Academic, and Student Success). Through the lens of Life Design, we help students build the skills, confidence, and strategies needed to succeed in college and beyond. We believe academic success is not just about grades—it is about learning how to think critically, manage time, ask for help, and take ownership of your education.

Our services are designed to support the whole student and encourage active, responsible learning. We offer Supplemental Instruction, Peer and Professional Tutoring, and Online Tutoring to help students strengthen course understanding and develop effective study habits.

We are located in the COMPASS Center, Hardees Student Union Building (across from the cafeteria). If you have any questions or need additional information, email ssc@ncwu.edu or call 252.985.5275.
