The Center for Academic Success and Exploration, which is house in the Student Success Center, is committed to supporting and guiding students as they strive to reach the highest standards of academic excellence. CASE serves as a coordination site for services, programs, and resources that promote academic success. Services are designed to assist students who are interested in enhancing their study skills; who wish to explore a variety of academic, intellectual, and professional pursuits; who need help with their coursework; and who need one-on-one support to address areas of academic concern. Students are encouraged to take advantage of these support services early in their academic careers to enhance their prospects for success.

Individual sessions are available to students interested in enhancing and refining their academic skills. Students will gain insight into areas of academic strength and will identify strategies to address areas of concern. They will work collaboratively with an academic success coach to develop a plan of action to improve academic performance, and they will learn strategies and techniques to aid in approaching their coursework in an active, engaged, and goal-directed manner. Academic success coaches also teach a Strategies for Success course (LC100), which centers on proven practices for creating greater academic, professional, and personal success.

Academic success workshops provide students with a comprehensive array of strategies and techniques that can assist in meeting the demands of college-level academics. Workshop topics vary from semester to semester but generally include topics such as time and self-management, effective study habits, exam preparation, and effective reading and note-taking strategies.

Exploratory Studies is a structured program aimed at helping students identify interests, explore academic options, gain exposure to the career-development process, and gather information about majors and careers that interest them.

In addition, students receive specialized attention from trained academic advisors who assist students in their decision-making process. Program services include:

The Libraries operate on a liaison, subject librarian model where all University majors/programs are assigned a liaison librarian, who provides research support for the students and faculty in those programs. Information literacy (library research instruction) is scaffolded at two levels. Librarians provide introductory information literacy instruction via the First-Year Seminar and then through subject-specific research instruction within majors and programs. Librarians also offer research consultation appointments where students can meet one-on-one with librarians either in person or online. To arrange an appointment with the librarian for your college or major, consult the librarian directory at: www.butler.edu/library/services/subject-liaisons.
