Academic Success Center
The Keuka College Academic Success Center, located in the Lightner Library on the first floor, is a free service available to all Keuka College students. Here, students direct their own learning and have access to staff and a range of resources. The Academic Success Center doubles as a large, open student study space with computers, tables, soft seating, glass whiteboards, and a small conference room. Our staff is co-located in the space and students are encouraged to stop by to talk with Writing Specialists, Tutors, and Academic Success Coaches. There are free books and other tools for your academic success.
