The Academic Achievement Center is where foundations for success are reinforced. The basic skills of any course of study, Reading, English, and Mathematics – plus personalized counseling for Learning Support students – the AAC offers services for all our students.

Counseling and Guidance for Learning Support Students

First semester Learning Support students receive personalized counseling and academic registration by Ms. Drenda Davis-Jackson.  Counseling services are available to address a multitude of barriers to student success – from transportation concerns, personal matters, time management, study skills, or simply understanding the college environment.

Focused on Learning Support Classes

The Academic Achievement Center (AAC) provides an environment for Learning Support students to accelerate into their programs of study.  With a combination of electronic classroom materials and personalized tutoring, students are given a plan of study to address their specific academic needs in Learning Support courses for English, Reading, and Mathematics.  In addition, Student Tutors and Supplemental Instruction is available for Learning Support students.  The individualized learning plan offered by the AAC has proven highly effective in advancing students from Learning Support to program-readiness.

Test-Prep Remediation for New Applicants

For new applicants not satisfied with entrance exam scores, remediation is provided through the AAC.  An applicant that wishes to re-take the COMPASS exam can schedule an appointment in the AAC and receive access to a program that will identify and remediate areas of need.  Applicants will complete modules in the AAC that relate directly to the COMPASS exam.  When the applicant achieves a targeted higher score, they are ready to re-take the COMPASS.
