The Student Success Center is a centralized hub designed to support student achievement and engagement. The SSC brings together tutoring, career placement, Building Bridges to Success (BBS) and transfer services under one convenient location on the second floor of GC’s Northen Center in Room N-200, ensuring students have the guidance and resources they need to navigate the college experience.
 
The SSC features a 40-seat computer lab with 16 computers and 24 dedicated study stations, along with 22 additional study spaces throughout the space. Students can also take advantage of a comfortable lounge area equipped with eight chairs, two couches and six flexible study tables. To further enhance learning and collaboration, the SSC is outfitted with three smart screens that support interactive, hands-on instruction and engagement.
