 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 Willkie:
- 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 and Willkie locations have been designated as the
primary locations 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 intro-level mathematics courses available in the Briscoe 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. Students can choose to have either a half-hour session (25
minutes of tutoring) or an hour-long session (50 minutes of
tutoring) at all three locations; students are only allowed one
writing tutorial per ASC location per evening.
- While they are available
for appointments during the day, University
Division Academic Advisors are also on hand in the early
evenings (6:00-8:00 p.m. Monday-Thursday) in the Briscoe and
Teter ASC locations 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.
