Interim Vice President, Student Success

• The goal of the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is to promote
a safe college environment for all students and staff. BIT encourages
members of the campus community to communicate behaviors that are
concerning. BIT connects students with resources that can assist them. The
Behavioral Incident Report is designed to enable faculty, staff and students
to voluntarily communicate behaviors that may raise concerns. Incident Dr. Jackie Thomas

Reports will be forwarded to the campus for review. LoneStar.edu/BIT. [email protected]

• The Early Alert System is an effort to help students get back on track academically. Our
goal is to promote academic success by connecting students to resources and to improve
students motivation. Both faculty and staff can find an Early Alert tile in their myLoneStar
portal through which they can make a referral.

• The Assessment Center at LSC-Tomball is located on the second floor Library building,
Room L201. We provide a variety of testing services for students, faculty and the community.
For more information about which exams we administer, LoneStar.edu/Testing-Tomball.
Tests may also be scheduled at the Creekside Center location.

• PLEASE NOTE:
• All testing fees must be paid before testing.
• No testing will begin within one hour of closing.
• It is the Examinee’s responsibility to arrive early enough to finish an exam.
• In order to protect the integrity of exams, photo identification is required.
• Examinee should not bring children to the testing center.

• The Extended Learning Center (ELC) provides academic resources to students. We offer
free tutoring in a variety of subjects, both face-to-face and virtual. We are available for
classroom visits and individual student appointments to work on academic skills.
Please email [email protected] with questions/requests.

• The Office of Student Life is now the Office of Student Engagement! The new name allows
our team to go beyond student organizations and sports teams to include seamless student
onboarding and offboarding experiences including, but not limited to, Wolf Pack Welcome,
Leadership Development, and Commencement. The Student Engagement team will continue
to offer our students numerous opportunities to get involved on campus which supports
their persistence. Please help us with our name change by directing students to the Office of
Student Engagement.

• ENGAGE! is three weeks of fun for students that replaces the one week of Welcome Week.
Watch for the ENGAGE! Weekly calendars around campus and online. All activities are
free for students. As you connect with your students before class, please encourage them to
participate in as many activities as they can. Here is a link to the ENGAGE! schedule.
