If you need help understanding your course material, sign up for tutoring. Tutoring and SI are offered through the Tutorial Assistance Network, known around campus as TAN. Students can take advantage of being tutored in a one-on-one or group session. SI is proven academic approach that can help students increase their grade in the course by 20 points of more by attending the SI study sessions with an SI Leader. Ms. Linda Skeete McClellan is the TAN/SI Coordinator and can be reached at 256.372.5487.
First-Time Freshmen can also find support with advising and academic support in OASiS. The Academic Specialist/Adviser can help any first-time freshman with course registration, developing study skills strategies, choosing a major, understanding university policies and procedures, and connecting the student with appropriate campus resources.
ASAP was created specifically for conditionally admitted first-time freshman.
