Helping you achieve your academic and personal goals to become your most resilient self through relational and skill-based learning.
Our mission is to empower students through Christ-centered academic and relational support, fostering a vibrant community where individuals grow in faith while developing the skills needed to thrive within the university and beyond. As faithful stewards, we are committed to walking alongside students in their journey, offering support during times of challenge. We strive to cultivate resilience, accountability, and meaningful connection while serving as advocates, mentors, and guides.
The ASC is located on the first floor of Mabee Learning Commons.
Five types of tutoring are available for MNU students through the ASC: designated walk-in tutoring, small group tutoring, tutoring by appointment, and workshops, and online drop-off writing support. The subject, course, and tutors’ availability determine the type of tutoring offered. Because the ASC team realizes the need for support at all times of the day (and night), professional tutoring is available 24/7 via NetTutor (Live tutor subject hours may vary).

The Academic Success Center’s tutoring program is proud to offer high-quality peer and professional tutoring services. Our tutors are trained to support students across a wide range of subjects, helping them build confidence, improve academic skills, and achieve their goals.
Training is provided, and the work hours are coordinated based on your availability.
MNU students have access to student success coaches that help them generate a student success plan (SSP) that guides them towards college success and achievement. The SSP aids students in defining their academic and personal goals, identifying and connecting with relevant campus resources, developing college success skills (time management, organization, note taking, etc.), and securing the accountability that is needed at times to follow through.
Coaches are assigned to each student by their declared major or student-athlete status. Identify your coach today!
