The intent is to build a community of students who are accountable to each other and will watch out for and assist each other. Student clubs and organizations are available for students on each campus.
Student Services Skills Centers located at each campus provide an individualized environment for students in need of personal assistance in areas such as study skills, reading, grammar, basic math, writing skills, and general classwork.
