Student Success Studio

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.

A destination focused on bringing students together with academic success in mind.

  • Tutoring

    Your Success is Our Goal

    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.

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).
