Academic Success Center

The University of South Carolina Beaufort (USC Beaufort) provides a broad range of academic services in support of its student population. Services range from those that are directly tied to specific classes (faculty office hours, course laboratory, and recitation sections) to broader services designed to help students in general academic preparation and planning.

It is the student’s responsibility to contact the tutor they need using the information provided. All tutors communicate via university email. If you do not receive a response to your inquiry within 24 hours, please contact Joe Vermilyea either via phone: 208-8024, or email: vermilye@uscb.edu.

Testing Services

Testing services are provided from the beginning of the prospective students' admission requirements, and continue as an integral part of each student's academic progress through graduation, including graduate admissions and professional certification/licensure requirements. Placement tests in English, Foreign Language and Mathematics are required of all incoming USC Beaufort students. New students are tested in conjunction with New Student Orientation programs.

Tutoring Services

USCB is proud to offer free tutoring to all currently enrolled students. The mission of the Tutoring Center is to help students succeed in the classroom by aiding them in gaining a deeper understanding of course material, by assisting them in developing better study skills, and by promoting a positive attitude toward learning. Students can take advantage of either drop-in tutoring or tutoring by appointment. Drop-in tutoring offers set, weekly hours of assistance in most areas of study, and tutoring by appointment offers greater flexibility when the drop-in schedule may not be convenient. Tutoring services are performed by both peer and professional tutors, so students are sure to get the specialized help they need. The Center operates Monday thru Thursday from 9am-5pm (or later, if scheduled). Please check the window at room 133 in the South Campus library at the beginning of the semester for detailed information and schedules.

 

 Writing Center

The USCB Writing Center is designed to help students become greater overall communicators and offers support in all stages of the writing process with the goal of making research and composition more understandable and enjoyable. Students sharpen their skills through informal one-on-one sessions which both complement and reinforce what they are learning in the classroom. The USCB Writing Center is staffed by Writing Fellows, upper-level students who have demonstrated exemplary proficiency in writing and who have earned the endorsement of their professors.
