Academic Skills Center

The Academic Skills Center (ASC) is an educational support service available to Wayne Community College (WCC) students and community patrons. The ASC provides an informal environment for students to study with assistance from professional staff and peer tutors. All services provided are free of charge.

The ASC offers supplementary instruction through group study, one-on-one instruction, subject-specific open labs, and course-related worksheets. In addition to assisting students in understanding concepts taught in curriculum courses, the staff also assists in improving study skills and in becoming independent learners.

The purpose of the Academic Skills Center is to enable student learning by providing additional instruction and learning activities in an informal setting.

Our Goals are:

To supplement classroom instruction
To provide academic assistance to students and community patrons
To encourage personal growth within the community
