Student-Athlete Study Skills Center

The Solano College Student-Athlete Study Skills Center opened in the 400 Building in the Spring of 2009. Currently students using the Center are enrolled in Tutoring 500, which is a no-fee, no-credit class. Students will be tracked based on their enrollment in this class. The staffing is made up of a supplemental instructor who is also an assistant coach. The Center is open M-TH 12-3 and 4:30-6 and Fridays 12-2:00.

Students can use the Center for quiet directed study or can use the supplemental instructor to get a referral to specific tutoring at our Tutoring Center, our Math Success Center, or our Math Activities Center. The Center has ten laptop computers which students can use while there. We are hopeful that the S-ASSC will begin offering special sessions in conjunction with the Success Center on selected study skills topics, such as note-taking, test-taking, math anxiety, etc. in the near future.

After the Spring 2009 semester grades are available, the Tutoring 500 grades will be analyzed to see what the success rate was of each student, along with any trends detectable in their GPA or units completed. Other statistics may be used with the assistance of our Institutional Researcher, Rob Simas.
