Welcome to the Student Success Center where our mission is to enhance the academic and personal development of students through proactive and innovative programs.
Located in the Library Science building on the Tishomingo campus, the Student Success Center offers a number of services designed to ensure the success of Murray State students. While our facility is primarily used to house professional and Student Support Services tutors, and peer tutors, we also offer services such as academic coaching, study skills and strategies, career development resources, and content-specific workshops. We also have four conference rooms designed for group study sessions or meetings.
Tutoring
The Student Success Center provides academic support to students at no cost. While our primary focus is support in writing, math, and science, we can tailor our services to meet other course-specific needs.
