The Center for Academic Success and Advising (CASA) works with all students to provide a seamless continuation of support services throughout a student's time at the University. Success Advisors advocate for students as they seek to resolve issues and concerns related to their academic careers. They challenge and support students to explore all avenues available to them to get the most out of their education.
Success Advisors use an appreciative advising philosophy that focuses on student strengths and empowers students to rise to their full potential. They work collaboratively with faculty to identify students who are experiencing challenges in their coursework and assist students on success plans to address these challenges.
Academic Peer Mentors (APMs) support CASA staff through their work with first-year students. APMs are assigned to each first-year residence hall as well as the commuter population. A Transfer Peer Mentor (TPM) works specifically with new transfer students. APMs and the TPM assist students with academic strategies and connect them to campus resources. The APM Program is co-administered by the Office of Residential Life and the the Center for Academic Success and Advising.
In addition, the CASA staff collaborates with other University resources to offer programs and services that promote student achievement and degree completion. They provide information to students on their academic programs, as well as tips on study skills, time-management, and other academic success strategies. During the registration process, Success Advisors work with students to prepare them for their advising appointments with faculty advisors and assist with registering for classes.
CASA staff teach the Strategies for Success and Career and Life Planning courses.

The Tutoring and Academic Support Center (TASC) provides students with the academic content and skills support they need for success. The TASC offers students free tutoring by peers and professional staff in a variety of courses, in addition to skills-based tutoring, as well as a thriving workshop series. Computer Lab support is available for all students. The TASC uses a metacognitive approach that engages students in the learning process and promotes independent learning strategies to help students become more successful independent learners.
The Learning Lab tutors assist students in math, hard and theoretical science, engineering, and business courses. Staff primarily provide small to mid-size group support.
The Grad Lab provides tutoring for graduate students in a range of disciplines, from Public Health to Finance to Engineering. We also offer weekly ESL roundtables for international students, workshops on programming languages and writing, dissertation and thesis consultations, and a twice-yearly Graduate Writers' Retreat.
The Computer Lab offers students access to computers equipped with the latest version of MS Office Suite as well as course-based software such as PHStat, SPSS, and Excel for classes. The Lab is staffed by students who provide support in the aforementioned programs and some programming languages.
The Peer Tutoring Program (Undergraduate and Graduate) consists of student tutors supporting major- and minor-based courses ranging from accounting to physics, chemistry, engineering, dental hygiene, and more. Peer tutors are often housed in areas affiliated with the department they support.
The Learning Assistant Program aims to help students by placing Learning Assistants directly in select Math, Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering courses. Learning Assistants are undergraduates who have already taken the course(s) they are supporting. In addition to meeting every week with their lead faculty members, Learning Assistants also attends a weekly one-credit pedagogy course. They work in the classroom under faculty supervision to help students working in small active learning teams, and they also work in the TASC as Peer Tutors for those students who need help outside of class.
The Writing Center at the Tutorting and Academic Support Center provides high-quality tutoring to undergraduate and graduate students as they write for a wide range of purposes and audiences. Tutors are undergraduate students studying Biology, Communications, Criminal Justice, National Security, Engineering, English, Environmental Science, Forensic Science, Legal Studies, Marine Biology, Music, Nutrition, and Psychology. We are here to work with you at any stage in the writing process; just bring in your assignment, your ideas, and any writing you've done so far.
Multi-Campus Support: The TASC offers tutoring support at Orange and Prato campuses.
Students are encouraged to make appointments via Navigate 360 and are also welcome on a drop-in basis as tutors are available. To learn more, visit our website at www.newhaven.edu/academics/CLR.
North Hall 106

Math Zone is a part of the Department of Math & Physics. It is located in North Hall, directly adjacent to Echlin Hall.
Math Zone is an innovation in learning mathematics, providing a student-centered educational experience. In addition to the guidance provided by dedicated faculty, student mastery is supplemented by a learning platform that provides ample opportunity for students to demonstrate mastery of topics.
The goal is student success. The faculty will provide students with active lectures and lab support through guided practice and assistance with navigating their learning. They will monitor students' progress and guide them in the mathematics learning process.
Tutors are available to work one-on-one with students to help them master the details of mathematical problem solving, with the aim of bringing each student to a level of performance in math that allows them to master more advanced math classes.
In short, Math Zone really embodies an "it takes a village" philosophy. Although you will meet your instructor for at least 115 minutes per week, the lab is open for you for 50 hours per week. With a staff of 10 instructors and 10 tutors, on average, you are destined to find someone whose style of explanation matches your needs.
