Academic Resources



Academic Success Center

The Academic Success Center (ASC) is Georgia Southern University’s inclusive, safe, and student-centered place for learning and growth. We provide tailored support services that empower, inspire, connect, and positively impact academic success. Programs and services include tutoring, mentoring, testing, academic success coaching, consultations, and workshops. While the ASC is available for all students, services are also focused on the needs of adult-learners, first-generation students, students on academic intervention, and students in the Learning Support program.

Learn more about the Academic Success Center online at georgiasouthern.edu/success or onsite in the Zach S. Henderson Library, Suite 1303 (Statesboro Campus) or in the Student Success Complex (Armstrong Campus). You may also contact the ASC at (912) 478-5371 or asc@georgiasouthern.edu/

The ASC is part of the Division of Enrollment, Marketing, & Students Success and and reports to the Office of the Executive Vice President.

Academic Success Coaching 

Academic Success Coaches help students develop holistic plans for success that encourage self-efficacy and personal agency. This is accomplished through a co-creative process between the Academic Success Coach and student; engagement includes ongoing one-on-one meetings, small group sessions, and the development of SMART goals.

Additionally, Academic Success Coaches are the university’s designated officials for the administration of Academic Intervention services and the development of Academic Improvement Plans (AIPs).

Academic Intervention

Undergraduate students who are on academic intervention, per university policy, are required to create and implement an Academic Improvement Plan under the guidance of an assigned Academic Success Coach. Academic Success Coaches meet with students one-on-one and in a group setting through a 0-credit hour course - GSU 1000: Academic Improvement Coaching. See the Academic Intervention Policy for more information.

Learn more about academic success coaching and how we can assist students on academic intervention at https://academics.georgiasouthern.edu/success/coaching/.

Academic Skill Consultations and Workshops

Academic skill consultations and workshops highlight solutions to common challenges such as test-taking skills, note-taking methods, strategies for reading comprehension, developing goals and a mindset for success, and time management, etc. Consultations are a great way for students to meet with an Educational Specialist one-on-one, rather than a group setting, to discuss an academic skill they want to refine. 

Learn more about academic skill consultations and workshops at https://academics.georgiasouthern.edu/success/presentandconsult/.

Peer Mentor Program

The Peer Mentor Program supports the academic and social growth of first- and second-year students. Peer Mentors are academically successful upperclassmen pursuing various majors, and our team is passionate about walking alongside students as they transition to life at Georgia Southern.

Peer Mentors and Mentees meet weekly to discuss a variety of topics, including locating resources on campus, getting a handle on time management, sharing personal experiences and overcoming challenges, establishing positive habits, goal setting, getting plugged in to campus life, and more! Our Peer Mentors help students navigate the academic environment and celebrate successes - big or small.

Military and Veteran Services

Georgia Southern recognizes that military-connected students often face challenging obstacles in the pursuit of a college degree. As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to providing educational opportunities to the military population, in the Spring of 2019 Georgia Southern created the office of Military and Veterans Services. The office provides a comprehensive military and veteran-friendly education support program that engages military-affiliated students from admissions to career placement to help them pursue and achieve their academic and professional goals.

Military Resource Center

In collaboration with a variety of University departments and organizations, the Military Resource Center (MRC) provides assistance, connection, camaraderie, coordinated services, and resources to ensure that all military-connected students are afforded the greatest opportunities for success. Members of our military community will experience individually tailored support of the highest quality through the MRC. Students can get information about the application and admissions process, education benefits, and prior learning assessments to determine credit for military training. MRCs provide access to computers, a resource library, peer-to-peer mentoring and tutoring programs, referrals to other campus and community resources, and information about the Student Veterans of America Chapters at each campus. The MRC at Armstrong and Statesboro have lounges that provide a designated space for military-affiliated students to network, study, and relax. The lounges include a kitchenette and social space that has couches, books, magazines, a television, movies, and video game consoles. The MRC at the Statesboro Campus is located in Centennial Place and the center at the Armstrong Campus can be found in Victor Hall, room148.

Georgia Southern encourages all veterans to take advantage of college credit that may be granted for military training, as well as the credit by examination programs. Veterans requesting college credit for military training must provide Military and Veteran Affairs with an official military transcript for evaluation.

Office of Career and Professional Development

The Office of Career and Professional Development (OCPD) is committed to providing Georgia Southern University students and alumni with a broad range of personalized services to prepare them for professional success. The OCPD uses career readiness competencies as the foundation for its four primary focus areas: Major and Career Exploration, Career Advisement, Experiential Learning, and Professional Employment. 

Major and Career Exploration includes assisting students in identifying academic majors and career options. Strategies include one-on-one or group career advising, career assessments, investigation of careers through a comprehensive collection of online information, as well as through the Major and Career Exploration Centers located on the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses. 

Career Advising involves the preparation of career-related experiences and professional development through mock interview training, résumé/cover letter assistance, graduate and professional school preparation, and job search strategies. Along with these services, the OCPD also provides structured academic courses that focus on holistic career development, emotional Intelligence and professionalism in the workplace. Students seeking additional career advice and support beyond the OCPD staff may also choose to participate in the Eagle Mentoring Program, which matches students with mentors and alumni based on their connected interests.

Experiential Learning opportunities are developed through the outreach efforts of the Employer Relations team, who proactively engage employer partners to create internship and co-op opportunities. These opportunities allow students to evaluate whether their chosen career path or program of study is a good fit for them, develop their professional skills, and apply their academic knowledge while obtaining valuable real-world experience in their field. The OCPD also manages two experiential learning programs: the Legislative Internship Program, which is available for students interested in experience in the state or federal government and the Internship Scholarship Program, which provides financial assistance for students seeking internships that provide minimal or no compensation.

Professional Employment opportunities are available through Handshake, Georgia Southern’s career management platform, and are open to all Georgia Southern University active students and alumni. Along with these postings, the OCPD hosts career fairs, networking events, and on-campus interviewing throughout the academic year.
