6 | STUDENT SUCCESS CENTER
The Student Success Center (SSC) exists to enhance the University’s programs by providing
resources and educational support for students. Coordinating a wide range of programs and
services in such areas as testing, tutoring, learning labs, and student disability compliance, the
SSC aims to support the integration of faith and learning for students and faculty at a Christian
liberal arts University in a distinctly urban setting.
The SSC has the following components:
• Center for Teaching and Learning
• Student Testing Center
• Disability Services
• The Early Alert System
The Center for Teaching and Learning exists to give students of all educational backgrounds
help outside the classroom that will enable them to complete their University education
successfully. This is done through tutoring in math, reading and writing, as well as giving
guidance in workshop series.
The Student Testing Center is an integral part of the SSC and provides testing facilities for ACT,
COMPASS, CLEP, and DANTES examinations. Also administered through the testing center are
writing proficiency and Senior Assessment exams for the University.
The Student Success Center is responsible for administration of disability services at Victory
University. As a learning community, we are committed to providing reasonable
accommodations to all students who properly disclose and document disabilities. Victory is
equally committed to upholding all applicable provisions of Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (1990) and Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act (1973), which
mandates equal access for students with disabilities in postsecondary institutions.
