writing center The Writing Center uses students’ written work as a starting point for discussing writing techniques and uses questioning to stimulate further exploration of ideas. Our philosophy focuses on improving overall writing skills instead of merely improving grades on individual papers. The Writing Center also explains expectations and conventions that instructors and businesses require for written communication to prepare students for their future careers. We do not proofread student papers. Instead, we teach students how to critique and improve their own papers, which could take more than one session.

testing Students have the opportunity to gain credit for previous academic and/or work experience through the following: placement tests, CLEP exams, challenge exams, and life experience (prior learning) credits.

special needs/disabled students are provided with reasonable accommodations to allow learning disabled, physically disabled, and other challenged students to succeed in academic pursuits. While maintaining the highest academic integrity, the University strives to balance scholarship with support services which will assist special needs students in functioning in the University's academic environment.
Because some programs of study have technical standards and requirements, applicants and students with special needs or physical disabilities should contact the director of the Center for Academic Support to discuss the availability of reasonable accommodations where appropriate. Copies of the technical standards applicable to various programs are available from this office.

• Reasonable accommodations are available with proper documentation and can be discussed with the director of the Center for Academic Support.
• Documentation must not be more than 3 years old.
• Students requesting services must provide the following documentation so the disability can be verified and to aid in educational planning: a neurological report by a psychiatrist, neurologist or other physician or a psycho-educational evaluation by a licensed clinician.
• A diagnosis, impact on a major life function, and recommended accommodations should be included in the documentation.
• Possible accommodations for students with disabilities who provide appropriate documentation include but are not limited to oral and/or extended time for tests, use of a tape recorder in class, note taking assistance, reduced course load, and preferential scheduling.
