The Department of Student Success provides a Math Lab, a Writing Center, and Study/Tutor Groups accessible for use by all NCTC students. The Math Lab is a drop-in lab. Tutors circulate among students and answer questions as students work through various algebraic or mathematical problems. The Writing Center is a same day appointment center. Students make an appointment to meet with a writing tutor who can guide students through all stages of the writing process. Tutors can assist with structure, style, and grammar, and they empower students to become their own editors. Online tutoring is also available to students 24/7 through Upswing, found in OneLogin and/or through Canvas.

Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD)
The Office for Students with Disabilities provides support services for students with disabilities. North Central Texas College is committed to making its degree and certificate programs accessible to all qualified persons in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112), the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2009). To afford each of our students every reasonable opportunity for success, the OSD offers a variety of support services to enable students with disabilities and/or special needs to participate in the full range of college experiences. Services are coordinated to fit the individual needs of the student and may include the following: sign language interpreting, note taking, tutoring, mobility assistance, audiotaping, large print materials, readers, scribes, and other reasonable accommodations.
As a resource for the ADA, as well as other legislation regarding disability-related issues, the OSD staff serves as a liaison among students, faculty, and college staff to help determine appropriate accommodations in the College environment. If a student has a learning, physical or mental disability, and would like accommodations, they should contact the OSD Department staff to determine if they qualify for services. A student with a disability is not required to disclose this to college officials if the student is not requesting accommodations.
Disclosure of Disability: In accordance with the ADA, NCTC is committed to making reasonable accommodations for any student who provides appropriate documentation verifying her/his disability. Appropriate documentation is current and includes a diagnosis made by a certified health professional in education, medicine, psychology, or other related areas. Additionally, documentation should indicate the presence of a learning, physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. For more information or to disclose a disability, contact information for the OSD Department is listed below.
