Mission & Vision
We are a National Learning Center of ExcellenceIn 2016, 2019, and again in 2025, the National College Learning Center Association awarded the Academic Success Center the "Learning Center of Excellence" designation. One of a few learning centers in the nation to receive this designation to date, the Texas A&M Academic Success Center is recognized as a model learning center throughout the nation.
Mission
Our mission is to provide comprehensive resources that help all Aggies achieve their academic goals and realize their academic potential. Every Aggie deserves a chance at an Aggie diploma, and the Academic Success Center exists to support them in that endeavor. To this end, we affirm a commitment to creating an environment that supports all Aggies regardless of their background or experiences.
Vision
The TAMU Academic Success Center will be a state and national model of excellence known for inspiring academic success through innovative collaboration, cutting edge research, and efficient and inclusive student-centered programming.
Overview of Programs
We also have student Peer Success Coaches, who are fellow students whose experience and training can help students navigate the common challenges many students face. They are a great option for students who have a question about finding resources on campus or help with adjusting to life as a college student. Peer coaches have one-to-one appointments available and drop-in hours.

Below is a blurb about the ASC that you can paste into your syllabus:
Academic Success Center (ASC Syllabus Statement)
The ASC (http://asc.tamu.edu) provides comprehensive resources that help all Aggies achieve their academic goals and realize their academic potential. Success Coaches help students overcome barriers to academic success, whether that’s difficulty with reading, test-taking, time management, motivation, or something else. The ASC is located in Suite 207 of the Pavilion, Monday-Friday, 8am – 5pm. You can find academic help on campus, including study and learning materials, ASC Supplemental Instruction sessions and ASC tutoring, by visiting http://studyhub.tamu.edu.
Academic advisors, faculty, and staff are invited to refer students to success coaching by having them follow instructions to make an appointment on Navigate.
Coaches conduct initial one-to-one appointments and follow-ups to implement success plans. Coaches monitor and track the progress of students they are working with and record session notes in Navigate, where they are visible for advisors, faculty, and staff with access privileges.
