The Student Success Commons doors are generally open Monday - Thursday, 8:30am - 5:00pm (excluding holidays during which the campus is closed; please see YCCC campus hours.).
Students are welcome to drop in to the SSC during the summer to work on homework, visit the library, use the computers or printers, or just hang out and relax.
(Please note: if you visit the SSC to hang out, please avoid doing so at the tables or computers 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. Thank you for keeping this in mind!)

Success Skills, Vet Tech, and More
Though we don't have specific tutors specializing in concepts other than math, writing, and science/computer science, we do try to offer as much support as possible in other areas! To that end, we've created pages dedicated to Success Skills, TEAS, and Vet Tech. Please be sure to check out the resources available on these pages! Download time management resources, get practical study tips, learn how to prep for the TEAS, check out videos centering on animal anatomy and physiology, learn how to make a lab report, and more!
NOTE
For best results when reaching out to any SSC staff member be sure to use your YCCC student email. Expecting a response from a tutor but nothing seems to be showing up in your inbox? Double check your spam or junk folder and see if it's there.
