About the CAS
The Center for Academic Success (CAS) is part
of the Office of Academic Affairs and is located on the second
floor of E Building. The CAS includes two computer labs (E-217
& E-233), open areas for tutorial assistance and enclosed
space for tutoring and conferences. It provides students with
individual and small-group tutorial instruction and support
in ESL, mathematics, reading and writing, as well as assistance
for the College’s Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program
of Intensive Writing (WI) courses and other courses. The CAS
promotes the College’s mission through individual attention
to students and through traditional and innovative programs.
The CAS also supports the College’s organization of schools
and General Education offerings through its tutoring for all
students and its assistance in the WAC effort, which includes
all schools and students. The CAS is staffed by peer and professional
tutors under the direction of discipline coordinators, and it
offers tutoring six days a week, free of charge, to all Ramapo
students. The CAS has a Web site with a variety of information,
including tutor schedules, schedules of workshops and other
academic services, links to academic information, a Help-Line
to assist students with writing issues, problems and questions,
and other features for electronic conferencing and distance
learning.
The CAS offers assistance to all students with academic support
in areas, such as study skills, research paper preparation and
other specific matters of academic compass. It assists in placement
decisions and provides workshops for WI faculty, staff and students
as part of the WAC program. The CAS works with the Educational
Opportunity Fund (EOF) Program and The Office of Specialized
Services (OSS) in identifying and training tutors, and it provides
faculty, space and tutorial and other support for the EOF Pre-Freshman
Summer Studies Academy. The Director works closely with faculty
deans and Conveners to develop the WAC program by identifying
WI courses in all schools and assisting in the development of
writing activities and support systems for aiding students in
these courses. The CAS offers ESL, developmental mathematics,
reading, and writing courses as well as an array of tutorial
services, in concert with the discipline Conveners and coordinators.
The CAS provides computer lab space for testing, registration
and other activities, and it accommodates requests from faculty
and their classes. |
