HCCU Academic Skills Center
Reports Significant Success
North Carolina Central
University's academic skills center -a
pioneer program in providing
support for student who can be
expected to have difficulty with
college studies - has since its
creation attracted the attention of
educators throughout the nations,
ii . A' report released this- week by
the director of the center, Dr.
Lafayette Lipscomb, shows why
colleges and universities as far away
as. the Midwest asked for guidance
from the Academic Skills Center in
establishing programs to assist
students with academic dificiencies.
Of 273 students enrolled in the
center's programs for the spring
semester of 1974-75. 30 had
averages of B or better, and 135
had averages between C and B.
Last year the'univcrsity awarded
degrees .to 79 students who had
been previously enrolled in the
academic skills program. Five of
those students were graduate
students who received the Master of
Arts degree. Three of the bachelor's
degree recipients recieved the
degree magna cum laude (with great
honors) and five received it cum"
laude (with honor.)
Most of those students would
not have been admitted to college
had it not been for the academic
skills program. Their high school
grades or their scores on
standardized tests indicated that
they would probably have academic
difficulties.
North Carolina Central's
academic skills program, created in
1968, was designed to permit the
university to admit a select group
of students with low Scholastic
Aptitude Test scores. The validity
of those scores had been doubted
when they were applied to black
students.
The program for the students
includes an English component and
a speech component, 'aught in the
center for credit, a mathematics
component which provides tutorial
assistance and group sessions for
student enrolled in a number of
freshman level mathematics courses
at NCCU, and a social, science
component which provides
individual tutorial .assistance to
freshmen enrolled in any of a
variety of social-science courses at
- NCCU.

The English component of the
program -provides individualized
instruction in two composition
courses. The first course, English
U0, trains the student to plan and
write coherent paragraphs and
themes, to use the tools of writing
and research, and to evaluate
written material. The second,
English 120, includes readings in
the major literary genres, but
focuses on development of writing
skills.
The speech program, which gives
students credit for English 210, is
designed to improve the student's
: ability to communicate and to
increase his self-esteem.
The mathematics component,
which attracts f most of the
"volunteers" to the center (78
students, including 53 freshmen,
enrolled in at least one academic
skills component on their own
initiative during the spring
semester), provides tutorial
assistance and group conferences
for students enrolled in various
beginning level mathematics
courses.
The group sessions which
allowed students to work together
in solving problems, proved to be
effective for many students,
according to the report. Individual
sessions were scheduled in the
mathematics component for
students with unusual difficulties
and for students who performed at
a higher level than the majority. of
students enrolled.
The social science component,
which was almost exclusively
tutorial and was conducted by one
teacher, produced a report that a
majority of the students who
enrolled had maintained averages
above B.
in addidtion to the academic
components, the Academic Skills
Center offered a counseling
component staffed by counselor
interns (NCCU graduate students)
and a trained counselor, Mrs. Sarah
B. Lucas. The counseling
component was responsible for
orientation of Students to the
program, academic advisement, a
freshman seminar in personal
development, a testing service, and
'Case conferences with the faculty.
