At Morris Brown College, student success is at the center of our academic mission. We are committed to helping students enter prepared, stay connected, make steady academic progress, and complete their degree with confidence and purpose. Student success is not limited to one office or one service. It is a connected network of support that includes Student Success Coaching, Academic Advising, First-Year Experience, tutoring, academic workshops, faculty engagement, technology support, and the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Innovation.
These resources help students understand expectations, build strong academic habits, access support early, and remain on track toward graduation. Students are encouraged to use these services before challenges become barriers. At Morris Brown, support is not a last resort. It is part of how students start strong, stay focused, and finish well.
The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Innovation is the academic support home for students at Morris Brown College. CTLI provides student-centered academic resources, learning support, workshops, tutoring, and skill-building opportunities that help students strengthen performance and remain engaged in their courses.
Through CTLI, students can access First-Year Experience support, The SPOT, Peer Learning Coaching, Writing Support, STEM Support, and academic workshops.


Faculty are important partners in student success. Students are encouraged to attend class, communicate with instructors, ask questions, review feedback, and use faculty office hours for additional support.
Connecting with faculty early can help students better understand course expectations and improve academic performance.
CTLI offers academic workshops throughout the year to help students build skills that support college success. Workshop topics may include study strategies, time management, test preparation, academic planning, writing support, Brightspace support, Populi support, and preparation for midterms and finals.
Students are expected to use the academic systems that support learning, communication, and degree progress.
Important tools include:
Students should check Brightspace and MBC Mail regularly to stay informed and engaged.

Student Success Coaching
Student Success Coaches provide personalized support to help students move successfully through their academic journey. Coaches do more than assist with course planning. They meet with students, schedule appointments, review progress, discuss challenges, and help students develop practical strategies for success.
Student Success Coaches help students:
Student Success Coaching gives students a consistent point of connection and support throughout the semester.
