Tutoring Services
Crown contracts with Tutor.com to provide one-to-one, 24/7 tutoring in the areas of basic math, accounting, statistics, finance, economics, biology, social studies, grammar, and literature.
Disability Services
Although the main building was built prior to the passage of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Crown College is well suited to serve the needs of disabled individuals. The main building allows access to all basic student services and student life activities under one roof.
Students with disabilities or special needs are invited to visit with the Director of Academic Success about academic accommodations and support available on campus through the study lab. Students, professors, and the director of academic success work together to make reasonable accommodations that compensate for learning disabilities. Testing services are provided for those needing a distraction-free place to take exams.
Career Services
The Career Services Office exists to assist students in exploring who they are, where their strengths and abilities lie, what they believe their calling is, and how these translate into future career possibilities. This is accomplished through career counseling and assessment, workshops on career-related topics, and the use of career books and an extensive web site, which can be found at www.crown.edu/academics/career-services.html.
Counseling Services
Crown College provides free, confidential, professional counseling services to students who are able to attend face-to-face sessions at our St. Bonifacius campus. Counseling records are not a part of a students academic file and are protected under HIPAA rules. For those unable to get to campus due to distance, please email Dr. Jim Zapf, the director of Counseling Services, at zapfj@crown.edu for a referral to a local Christian counselor. |
