Center for Academic Success

The CAS is SCTCC’s tutoring center. We have tutors that can help you with math, natural sciences, behavioral sciences, communications, writing, English, business/IT, and various other subjects.

But wait – you? Need tutoring? Here’s the facts: students who seek out tutoring on a subject get a better understanding of course materials. And this can lead to better grades! Even if you’re not struggling, you can benefit from going over materials with someone else.

Stop by 1-112 to check out how the CAS tutors can help you.

Success Skills Workshops

Feeling stressed out? Not sure if you’re studying the best you can? The Success Skills program hosts workshops each semester that focus on skills that can help you out while you’re a student here. Some of the topics? Test anxiety, stress reduction, technology 101, and goal setting, to name a few. Watch their website, the kiosks, or SCTCC’s social media for dates and times of the workshops.

Bus Fare

No more circling for a parking spot. No more scraping the windshield. And some extra time for texting your bff. Kick the car to the curb! Use your student status to get a free ride on Metro Bus. Just swipe your student ID on the bus, and you can go anywhere in the St. Cloud area.

Movie Passes

First, Tuesdays are $7 movie night at Parkwood Cinema in Waite Park (totally on the bus line). Second, Thursdays are $7.50 student nights (just bring your ID). And then, if you still need some cheap movie passes, you can get two for $12 every 45 days. Available at the Bookstore.

Job Fair

When you’re ready to graduate and haven’t gotten that dream job yet, Career Services is here to help you out. The SCTCC Job Fair is one of the largest job fairs in the area. Every spring semester, we bring in more than 160 employers that are ready to hire our grads. The Job Fair is at River’s Edge Convention Center, and there are regular shuttles from SCTCC to River’s Edge: this couldn’t be easier! Watch for more information on the Job Fair in early spring semester.

Career Services

More good news on the job front: as an SCTCC grad, you can use Career Services as long as you need them – graduated 10 years ago and need some resume tips? You can stop by and have it reviewed. Job listings are also available to all current students and graduates. Stop by Career Services to get the login information for the job listings.
