About the SSC

Welcome to the Student Success Center. We are here to help you, our WKCTC students, Dream, Plan, and Achieve your academic goals. 

Opened in August 2021, the Student Success Center (SSC) was created with you in mind as a place where students can find personalized academic support. This dedicated space offers a variety of services and resources to help you stay on track, succeed in your courses, and reach your graduation goals.

Our mission in the Student Success Center is to provide varied academic supports recognized as best practices and collaborate with other WKCTC retention efforts to ensure every WKCTC student is empowered to pursue and achieve their goals.

The SSC is more than the physical location. It includes the First Year Experience courses, tutoring services, Success Coaches, and Supplemental Instruction. Each part of the SSC provides WKCTC students experiences with unique supports that empower students to Dream, Plan, and Achieve their goals.  

The physical space of the SSC is located on the first floor of Matheson Learning Resource Center and includes areas for tutoring and supplemental instruction as well as computer and printer access for students. Students may also use the space as a study lounge between classes. Come visit us!
