Campus and Student Life

The Math Center
The Math Center is a free drop-in tutoring center that provides help for most undergraduate math courses (Math 2 through Math 200).

The Tutoring Center
The Tutoring Center offers free assistance in a variety of General Education courses. If you are having trouble in a certain course, from biology to history to computer science, we will attempt to match you with a tutor for individual help or group tutorials.

The Language Center
Learning a new language is often challenging. Peer tutors are fellow undergraduates who are advanced in the language and devoted to helping you make the most of your study through collaborative discussion in a relaxed and informal setting. We encourage you to bring your questions about the course, language structure, and language study. Sessions can focus around specific assignments or even consist of free conversation.

The Learning Skills Center
Mastering academic skills remains one of the most challenging issues for university students today. Our Learning Skills consultants are undergraduates trained to help you master the academic skills you need to be successful in your college courses.

The Teamwork Center
The Teamwork Center provides five Teamwork Areas where groups of up to six students can work on projects, assignments, or presentations for classes. Each Teamwork Area features a large table, up to six chairs, an ITS computer, and either a whiteboard or chalkboard.

The CEW Undergraduate Writing Center
The Center offers a free drop-in service as well as some appointment hours. This peer tutoring is made possible through the cooperative efforts of the University Learning Centers and the Center for Excellence in Writing.  You can come in with a topic proposal, rough draft, or even a graded paper that you want to revise. When you come to the Writing Center, you establish the agenda, and we'll try to accommodate you. Conversation about writing is our specialty.
