Faculty and Staff Resources

Your involvement is central to student success. At the Academic Success Center we thrive on support from and collaboration with faculty and staff across OU, including in the ways highlighted below. Please reach out if you’d like to collaborate or want to learn more about what we do and how we support students. 

We appreciate recommendations of high achieving students who might work for us! Also, staff from the ASC are available to visit your class or you can tour the center! Fill out the appropriate form below and if you have any feedback please email [email protected].

One of the most important ways that faculty can collaborate with the ASC is promoting the support services to their students. We are excited to partner with you in this effort by scheduling a visit to your class. Most often we visit classes and share a brief overview of services, including any specific support for your course. 

We can also bring a mini-workshop to your course, covering topics like time management or note-taking strategies. Mini-workshops typically run from 20-30 minutes but can also be tailored to target specific needs for your students or course context. We typically require at least 2 weeks to accommodate most mini-workshop requests. 

Submit your request for a visit or mini-workshop and a representative from the ASC will be in touch within a few days.

Faculty support and involvement with the Academic Success Center (ASC) is central to student success. ASC Faculty Liaisons are key faculty members who are familiar with ASC programs and support them in their departments. They often help us recruit fantastic peer educators, promote relevant services to their colleagues and students, and coordinate effective services for their discipline.

We are always on the lookout for the next cohort of great tutors and student leaders to work with the ASC, and no one is better equipped to recommend knowledgeable students than faculty! Use this form to recommend students to us. When students apply for open positions, they must also request a faculty recommendation and would send you a link to this same form to submit your recommendation.
