    Our mission is to provide assessment of student knowledge, interests and educational experiences and promote academic assistance for students’ scholarly achievement towards excellence. We accomplish this by:

    1.
    Determining students’ skill levels using placement testing (Math, English, & Reading) to seat them in appropriate courses;

    2.
    Helping students explore a major/minor or career path with computer programs and consultation;

    3.
    Providing academic assistance through Action Tutoring/Action Centers, computer software tutorials, Student Success seminars, resource materials, and learning consultations.
