Student Achievement Center
The Student Achievement Center (SAC) offers a comprehensive suite of academic support services for Ranken students. The SAC offers individual and group tutoring on a walk-in or appointment basis for general studies courses and technical programs. It also provides a tutor training program that is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association.
In addition, study skills guidance is available throughout the academic year on topics such as time management, learning styles, taking lecture notes and test taking. Print, video/ DVD, computer-aided and online materials are also available on a variety of study skills topics, including math, reading and writing.
The SAC operates a testing room and administers placement, course and industrial testing in addition to Credit-By-Examination and CLEP® testing services. The SAC also administers the Ranken Steps (math and reading) programs, which may be identified as a prerequisite for general studies courses or technical majors.
Students with diagnosed learning disabilities may apply for accommodations in their academic and technical courses by submitting recent documentation to the SAC Director.
