Beginning with COMPASS Placement Testing, the student’s introduction to SKCTC is designed to ensure him / her of the Institution’s commitment to helping each individual to succeed academically. Following the receipt of placement test results, the student’s advisor meets with him / her to discuss / interpret the results and to work with the student in determining a course schedule for the upcoming semester. If students’ scores suggest deficiencies, advisors adhere to the College’s placement policy for guidance [1].

Using general fund revenues as well as funds from Title II C (Perkins) and Title IV (Special Services), the College employs a staff of seven individuals to deliver academic support services to students [3]. Tutorial assistance is available in a number of academic areas and is usually accomplished on a one-on-one basis. In addition to student tutors, faculty members often volunteer to serve in a tutorial role. Many students also avail themselves of tutorial assistance that is offered through PLATO, a computer support program that can be tailored to work that is taking place in the classroom. Faculty often use PLATO to reinforce work that is taking place in the classroom. Developmental classes are offered on each of the College’s campuses [4].
Throughout the course of the semester, workshops are offered to support student academic performance [5]. For additional information about academic support services provided at SKCTC, see Comprehensive Standard 3.8 Library and Other Learning Resources.
