Get to Know Goodwin: The Academic Success Center

When you’re working hard to reach your academic goals, it’s important to know you’re not alone. At Goodwin University, the Academic Success Center (ASC) is here to make sure you have the tools, support, and confidence to succeed. Whether you’re struggling with a subject, need help preparing for an exam, or want to sharpen your study skills, the ASC is your go-to campus resource!

What is the ASC?

The ASC is a free service located on the second floor of Hoffman Family Library on the main campus. It’s designed to support Goodwin students through personalized academic help, tutoring, and skill-building workshops. The goal? To help every student reach their full potential — no matter where they’re starting from.

Need help understanding a tough topic or assignment? The ASC offers one-on-one tutoring sessions with both professional staff and peer tutors who specialize in a range of subjects. From English and math to science and more, these tutors are ready to meet you where you are and guide you forward.

Tutors focus on teaching and skill development, not just giving answers. That means they won’t complete your assignments or help with take-home exams, but they will help you understand the concepts and strategies needed to do your best.

“If it had not been for the ASC, I wouldn’t have the drive and confidence that I have today, and for that, I am thankful. The resources and help I was given made me the student that I am and will someday make me the nurse that I aspire to become.”
– Olivia Stacey, student

Beyond tutoring

The ASC isn’t just for students who are struggling — it’s also for students who want to stay ahead. Whether you’re looking to stay motivated, keep up with coursework, or prepare for the workforce after graduation, the ASC is here to support your success.

Additional services include:

  • Testing services: Make-up exams and accommodation for students registered with the Office of Disability and Access Services. Learn more here.
  • Skill-building workshops: Sessions that help you improve your notetaking, time management, test prep, and more. View upcoming workshops here.

These resources are open to all students and are designed to help you build lasting academic confidence.
