The Center for Academic Success assists Toccoa Falls College in fulfilling its commitment to educate and serve students. The Center coordinates and provides a variety of academic and support services to students. The goal of the Academic Support Services is to provide counsel for students concerning academic issues including academic tutoring for students seeking help, academic support for students with documented disabilities, and administration of institutional and various nationally-normed tests. Center for Academic Support is comprised of three main programs, which include Disability Services, Test Administration Services, and Tutoring Services.
DISABILITY SERVICES
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a person with a disability as any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities (walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working), has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as having such an impairment. The Center for Academic Success coordinates and provides a variety of academic and support services based on the individual needs of each student with the goal of creating an accessible academic, social, and physical environment for students with disabilities at Toccoa Falls College.
TEST ADMINISTRATION SERVICES
Various institutional and nationally-normed tests are administered through the Center for Academic Success. The goal of the Test Administration Services is to provide efficient test administration and services for TFC students and the surrounding community. Institutional tests and surveys include the Bible and Doctrine Test, the General Studies Assessment Test, the Enrolled Student Survey and the Library Skills Test. Nationally-normed tests include the institutional ACT and College Level Examination (CLEP) tests. These institutional and nationally-normed tests are administered through the Center at various times throughout the year.
TUTORING SERVICES
Tutoring services are available free of charge to currently enrolled students requesting academic assistance. Tutoring involves one-on-one assistance from qualified students who have been approved by the director and the faculty in a given subject area. Tutoring is available for most subjects offered at Toccoa Falls College. Visit Study Lab for more information.
