Welcome to the Academic Assistance Center
(AAC)
Located in the Briggs Library, Room 328
320-589-6178
The AAC's mission is to provide UMM students with the help they need to be
successful in their courses. Over half of the students at
UMM take advantage of at least one of the services offered through the
AAC. Services include small-group tutoring, one-on-one
academic counseling and drop-in help rooms. The Center also hires about 40
tutors each year from a wide variety of disciplines-- from
calculus to music. All services are free to registered students.
Tutoring
|
Peer tutors are available for any subject taught at UMM. Tutors are
sophomores, juniors and seniors who have been
approved by a
faculty member and have taken the class for which they are tutoring. The
most common subject requested is
math, but the AAC also has tutors in Chemistry, Spanish and psychology.
To get a tutor, students must fill out a Tutor
Request Form, which are available any time the library is open. The forms
are
located
on the door of the Center. During business hours, completed forms can be
given directly to staff. After business hours, forms can be
slid under the door.
