STUDENT ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Falcons
Academic
Center of
Excellence
The Falcons Academic Center of Excellence (FACE) is positioned to engage
in a paradigm shift
to a more comprehensive and holistic model that removes silos and
creates an environment
that is more conducive
to students’ needs.
Academic success is a priority. Many students are
experiencing new and different challenges which develop into barriers that affect retention,
progression, and graduation. The Falcons Academic Center of Excellence aims to remove those barriers and guide students on a path of academic, personal, and professional success.
This guidance includes ensuring students are aware of academic program requirements, important dates, declaring a major, prerequisites/corequisites for courses, necessary student forms, and institutional policies and procedures.
Additionally, FACE believes student success depends not only on academic performance, but
also on access to the tools and resources necessary to thrive! FACE is dedicated to equipping
our students for a successful matriculation through the halls of Simmons College of Kentucky!
