Please note: if you visit the SSC to hang out, please avoid doing so at the computers or the tables in the math section so that these spaces are available for the students who need to work on their assignments. If you find there is not enough room to sit back and chill in the SSC, please feel free to hang out in the cafeteria or the Pratt and Whitney building. We also ask that all students keep their conversation topics and volume appropriate for a college study area. Thank you for keeping this in mind!

The Mission of the Student Success Commons

The Student Success Commons is an integrated, active space that includes the library, tutoring services, a writing center, student success coaches, and easy access to the Office of Student Accessibility Services.

Our knowledgeable librarian is an excellent resource for finding the material you need when you need it, and our campus space encourages group learning, while still offering quiet spaces for personal studying.
