The University of New England’s Student Academic Success Center (SASC), led by Director Mary Fraser, M.A., was recently awarded the National College Learning Center Association (NCLCA) Center of Excellence designation for October 2017 to December 2020.

The SASC was scored on criteria topics that included program and services; organizational framework; academic integrity and learning environment; funding, resources and design; staff and professional development; promotion and public relations; and assessment and evaluation.

The SASC, a department within Student Support Services, provides a comprehensive array of academic support services including placement testing, courses, workshops, tutoring and individual consultations. It aims to assist matriculated students in becoming independent learners, so that they are able to meet the University's academic standards and attain their personal educational goals.

The NCLCA’s Center of Excellence certification promotes professional standards of excellence for learning centers, encourages centers to develop, maintain and assess quality programs and services to enhance student learning, and celebrates the outstanding achievements of centers that meet and exceed the standards.
