Student Success

Allen College’s aim is to enhance and support each student’s total academic experience and to promote academic achievement and retention. We understand success is more than just understanding content. For this reason, assistance is available for various academic and personal skills including time management, study skills, note taking, reading a text, writing, overcoming test anxiety, test-taking strategies and other areas related to student success. One-on-one meetings with Student Success is encouraged if you need additional assistance in areas related to your academic success. For additional information, contact: Shanna.Pikora@allencollege.edu.

For supports not provided directly by Student Success, additional referrals to partner and community organizations can be made. 

Academic Accommodations

Federal law requires that the College provide reasonable accommodations for qualified students with disabilities. Generally, the term “disability” means that an individual has a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities. Reasonable academic accommodations may include, but are not limited to, adjusting class schedules, providing assistive devices or equipment, providing readers or interpreters, giving additional time to complete a task and modifying examinations or other assignments.

Any student who needs to discuss academic accommodations can contact the ADA Coordinators to schedule time to discuss accommodations.
