Center for Academic Success

Want to strengthen your knowledge on a specific academic subject or class?

Study Labs offer group study sessions for a variety of academic subjects. CAS Study labs provide an opportunity for students to explore course content and to practice essential skills presented in class.

• This service is FREE to Union students.
• Study Lab coaches work with professors to develop materials and examples that will enhance a student’s understanding of the subject.
• You can ask questions, work out problems, and seek advice from coach/es who have previously taken the class and excelled in the class.

CAS provides individual tutoring for specific subjects. Our peer tutors are students knowledgeable of the subject matter and able to facilitate the student’s understanding of the subject. CAS tutoring is designed for students enrolled in classes that are taken for academic credit in traditional undergraduate courses. CAS Tutoring sessions will be for 50 minutes and can be for a small group (2-3 students) or individual sessions. CAS Tutors work to foster the following objectives:

• Promote independence in learning
• Personalize instruction
• Facilitate insights into learning & the learning process
• Respect for differences in learning styles

Make An Appointment

Your Union experience is more than just taking classes — it’s also discovering who you are and who God has designed you to be. It’s about growing, developing, and becoming a scholar, citizen and servant. It is becoming a critical thinker, problem solver and collaborator.

Our academic counseling is here to assist in this development by:

• Answering questions about the University system
• Sharing information so you can make appropriate decisions
• Assisting in the development of academic goals
• Exploring majors and minors at the university

• Office Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

CAS offers proctoring services for faculty to provide extended testing time in a distraction-reduced environment for traditional undergraduate students with ADA accommodations. For added security, each proctored exam will take place in a camera-monitored room. All proctored exams should be requested at least two full business days prior to the scheduled exam. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Vernetta Anderson at vanderson@uu.edu or 731-661-5976.

Test Proctoring Policy for Students Receiving Testing Accommodations

If a student fails to show up to a proctored exam previously scheduled in the Center for Academic Success, the staff will alert the professor and return the blank copy of the test to the professor’s office. If the professor decides to allow the student to reschedule the exam, then the professor has the option to proctor the exam himself/herself, or he/she may submit a new test proctoring request and the Center for Academic Success will proctor the rescheduled exam. In the event that a professor allows a student to make-up a missed exam, the student will still receive his or her appropriate testing accommodations. If a student shows up late to a proctored exam, the Center for Academic Success will still proctor the exam; however, the student will be unable to make-up the time he or she missed.
