Integrated Academic Support Services
Integrated Academic Support Services and Advisement is one of the focus areas of the Office of Student Success. We provide quality academic services and programs that help you become an active and independent learner while pursuing your DSU degree. Our staff is actively engaged and committed to helping every student prepare, advance, and excel in their academic performance by offering the following:
Quantitative Reasoning Center
Our mission is to help improve the persistence and success of students in math courses ranging from Developmental Math to Calculus I using a holistic approach to tutorial sessions rather than a “quick fix – just give me the answer” session. Tutors work with students to reinforce class concepts by utilizing multiple learning strategies and applying study/note-taking skills and test-taking strategies.
Supplemental Instruction (SI)
Our mission is to increase student persistence and success in historically difficult courses by providing a collaborative peer learning environment that improves understanding of subject content, fosters critical thinking, and strengthens study skills.
Tutorial Center
Our mission is to provide students with a holistic approach to tutorial sessions rather than a “quick fix – just give me the answer” session.

Writing Studio
