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.

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.
