Success Coaches focus on students' holistic development and enhance campus connections. Through Success Coaching, both Success Coaches and Peer Academic Coaches empower students to establish values and goals, create action plans for success, persevere through challenges, and develop as deep learners.

The SRU Tutorial Center provides academic assistance to students needing additional support. Tutoring is free for SRU students. Our highly qualified peer tutors are available to assist students with lower level (100 and 200 level) subject areas. Individual and group tutoring sessions are available and students can receive tutoring in-person or virtually. Students can request a tutor by visiting their MySRU portal or D2L portal and selecting "Academic Support."

The Writing Center is a free service to students at Slippery Rock University. Tutors help students work through writing issues they experience at any stage of the writing process.

An appointment is not needed to meet a tutor, services are provided on a walk-in basis. The Writing Center is located in The Technology Learning Center on the first floor of Bailey Library.

The Student Counseling Center (SCC) strives to facilitate the total development of students by reducing psychological problems and distress by enhancing mental health, well-being, quality of life, and supporting your aspirations. Our primary focus is on providing brief, confidential counseling aimed at helping students to succeed academically and interpersonally. When students require mental health services that are beyond the role or scope of the SCC, we will make appropriate referrals to campus and community resources.

Student Support at SRU is part of Student Affairs and acts as a central location where faculty, staff, students, parents or community members can refer a student experiencing or causing distress that interferes with learning, development and success. Student Support uses a model focused on the holistic development of the student to assist when they encounter challenges, barriers, and crises that impact their ability to be successful and safe by setting goals and connecting to the appropriate resources.

In Student Support we focus on enhancing student learning and development through one-on-one case management, Boost peer programming, behavioral intervention, and critical incident response. Students, faculty, and staff members can submit a Care referral for a variety of concerns serving as barriers to a student’s ablity to excel in the classroom and in their social environments.
