Regular Services at the ASC

For more information about specific types of assistance offered at the ASC, please click on the appropriate topic: math tutoring, writing tutoring, subject-specific tutoring (business, science, etc), or advising.

All three locations of the Academic Support Center offer a wide range of free services, including tutoring, advising, workshops, review sessions and other academic support. Because many of the services offered at the ASC are provided by existing organizations at IUB, there are links to other web pages to help provide more information. The following types of assistance are available on a walk-in basis every evening (Sunday-Thursday) at the ASCs in Briscoe, Teter and Forest:

• For help in mathematics, there are graduate and undergraduate student staff to work with students in small group sessions. The emphasis is on introductory math courses: M014, M025, M118, M119, M120, and M211. Furthermore, assistance is also available in some upper-level courses and in Groups math classes such as J111, J112, and J113. NOTE: The Teter location has been designated as the location for help in upper-level math courses (M212 and higher).
• The primary focus for the members of the Student Academic Center staff is to assist students with the development of study skills. There are numerous workshops on a variety of topics: time management, giving an oral presentation, effective study techniques for specific disciplines/courses, and many others which are listed elsewhere in this website. The SAC staff can also work with students individually or in groups in a number of different disciplines, including introductory business, science and language courses. There is also Supplemental Instruction for M014, M025 and M027 available in the Briscoe, Forest and Teter residence centers.
• Writing Tutorial Services helps students at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to outlining to revising. Graduate and undergraduate peer tutors work one-on-one with students on writing assignments from all types of classes, with an emphasis on introductory-level courses. In the Teter location, there are often graduate student tutors available who specialize in ESL tutorials.
• While they are available for appointments during the day, University Division Academic Advisors are also on hand in the early evenings (Monday-Thursday) to talk to students on a walk-in basis. Advisors assist students with course schedules, registration, drop/add, and they serve as useful sources of academic information.

In addition to the main area, a classroom and a new study area, the ASC in Briscoe also has a 21-machine computer cluster as part of its facility. There are mini-clusters in the main areas of all three locations for student academic use while in the center. The computers are maintained by University Information Technology Services (UITS).

Other departments and programs also use the ASC facility to offer assistance; Groups tutoring, review sessions, group advising meetings, and Supplemental Instruction in M025 can all be found at the ASC over the course of the academic year. Please call the ASC in Briscoe at 855-6931, in Teter at 856-4457 or in Forest at 856-3060 or email us at ljrobins@indiana.edu for more information about specific times and courses.
