How can we help?
Student Support
First-Year Math Course Placement
Student Support appointments give you one-on-one guidance to create a plan for academic success – whether it’s creating a success plan in your math course, navigating ALEKS, or addressing other challenges you would like to discuss.
Not sure if you’re in the right math course? Within the first two weeks of the semester, this appointment is used to review your ALEKS results and help determine any placement adjustments.
Tutor Interest and Tutoring Lab Questions
Third Attempt
This appointment is for questions about the tutoring lab or becoming a tutor. For information about utilizing free tutoring, visit our tutoring page.
