Our mission is to help students become successful, serious and self-aware individuals who graduate from Graceland and move on for advanced study and/or productive careers that help them live rewarding lives. The atmosphere in student services is a friendly, accepting and personal one where students feel welcomed and accepted for who they are. Each student is challenged and supported to grow as an individual.
Housed in the F. M. Smith Library, the Student Success Studio is a hub for students to gather to work on computers and participate in study groups. The Studio provides academic counseling, study space, tutoring, a writing center, and peer mentors. It is home to Freddie’s Cafe, complete with food and drink options such as Aspretto coffee with flavored syrups, a variety of drink and snack items, and a limited grab-n-go menu of sandwiches and wraps. A destination focused on bringing students together with academic success in mind.
Graceland strives to provide you with excellent academic support as you navigate the rigors of college life. With that aim in mind, we offer group tutoring sessions for specific courses across the curriculum. These tutoring sessions are available for all Graceland students and are offered for as many specific classes as possible. Our tutors are knowledgeable, trained peers, who have successfully taken the course they tutor. These sessions consist of reviewing course materials and providing extra help in a positive group setting.
Located in room 119 of the FMS Library, the Graceland University Writing Center provides a supportive, welcoming environment where all Graceland students can work together with a trained tutor to improve their writing knowledge and skills. The Writing Center assists students in all majors and at any stage of the writing process to become better, more confident writers. The Writing Center offers both face-to-face tutoring (for students on the Lamoni campus) and online tutoring (for all Graceland University campuses and students).
Each first-year seminar course will be assigned a peer mentor. The peer mentor is typically a sophomore student who will be available to help orient first-year students to college life.
