Student Services and Activities

Academic Success Center

Airport and Beltline campuses have Student Academic Success Centers open to all Midlands Technical College students.  The use of computers and tutoring in the Center is free to all enrolled students, and includes the following resources:

 

Computer Access:

All students have access to computer resources for the purposes of academic computing.  The availability of software packages is determined by the courses taught at the college and by those programs supported by the College.  Available resources include various productivity and development software in both microcomputer and mainframe environments, e-mail, the internet, Microsoft Office products, and a wide variety of interactive educational software.

 

Tutoring Services:

Tutoring is available to assist students who experience difficulties in selected courses, usually general education courses or introductory courses in a program of study.  Mathematics, writing, and reading are the major areas for tutoring, but tutoring is also offered for ESL, foreign languages and selected computer, accounting, and science courses.

 

Additional Resources:

In addition to computer access and tutoring, the Academic Success Center provides a variety of supplemental materials to assist students in becoming independent learners.  These materials include video tapes, science models, slides, microscopes, and a speech lab complete with video recorder.
