The mission of the Student Success & Learning Support Center is to improve student retention by preventing academic problems from becoming the reason for non-attainment of educational goals. The services of the Student Success Center addresses the academic needs of the traditional and non-traditional student, the academically and economically disadvantaged student, and students for whom English is a second language.
Open to all registered DeKalb Tech students, the Student Success & Learning Support Center offers free academic tutoring services based on learning styles and individual student needs. The Center is equipped with computerized tutorials which are designed to help students improve skills in math, reading and English. These tutorials encourage each student to become actively involved in the thinking skills necessary for effective problem solving. Throughout the quarter, class orientation sessions are conducted with a focus on a variety of topics such as study and test taking skills, stress and time management, building self-esteem, and career decision making.
The Limited English Proficiency Lab (LEP) provides remediation and language assistance to credit students identified as LEP. The lab is equipped with the ELLIS interactive software that addresses language-specific challenges of LEP students (grammar, reading, vocabulary and listening). Bilingual tutors are available to assist students in setting up an instructional plan to work on areas of weaknesses in English and reading. Other services provided by the Center are:
