Some professors offer extra credit to students for logging in hours at the Academic Success Center. If students would like to earn extra credit at the center, they must acquire an extra credit slip from the student assistant prior to using the center. Extra credit slips will be destroyed if students are researching areas that are not specific to their course. In some cases, students can only use resources that have been identified by their professor. Extra credit slips will also be destroyed if students leave the center while earning hours.
Professors that offer extra credit at the ASC varies by semester to semester. For a list of extra credit opportunities for the current semester, see the Online Learning Center. Then go to the discipline's Study Material section. For instance, if you would like to know which Psychology courses are offering extra credit assignments, go to the Psychology Study Material section.
