Student Veterans
Welcome to ECU! As a student veteran, the staff and students of the Pirate Academic Success Center (PASC) thank you for your service to our country. At PASC, we care about your success and provide services tailored to your specific needs. PASC is here to assist your successful completion of your ECU degree.
As a student veteran, you may now be a parent or working full-time, and we understand that going back to school as an active duty or recently separated solider can be challenging. PASC offers to you free tutoring and academic success coaching services. Our team wants to support your goals, help you succeed in your classes, and help you reach the FINISH line!
At the PASC, you can expect to interact with other student veterans. Student veterans like yourself work as tutors and mentors here at the center. One of our previous Physics tutors and National Guard member Chris Garcia discovered the PASC when he needed help in introductory Physics classes. In his role as a tutor, Garcia observes “tutoring benefits me by allowing me to study and assimilate every small piece of information about the courses I tutor,” he said. “Every day I learn new tricks and am able to pass them along to the students I meet.”
