Assistance in Mastering Studies (AIMS)
Students who do not meet normal admissions criteria, or who need additional academic support during their freshman year, are accepted into the Assistance in Mastering Studies program. These students are not enrolled into a formal program of study during that freshman year. Each student is closely advised by the program advisor. The goal of AIMS is to strengthen the students’ academic skills so that they are able to begin one of the University’s formal programs of study. The AIMS program is typically one year long although a third semester can be required by the AIMS advisor.
Writing Lab
For one-on-one help with academic writing and assignments, students can visit the Writing Lab, located in the Academic Resource Center.
The Writing Lab is a tutoring service open to all undergraduate students. Services are free of charge, and students can drop-in anytime during Writing Lab hours. Students at all levels of writing ability can utilize the Lab as a resource for honing organizational, grammar, and MLA formatting skills, as well as for assistance in communicating one's own original ideas and writing style. We work with writers at any stage of the writing process, from pre-writing to editing at the sentence level.
Writing Lab Semester Hours
Sunday 6:30pm-10:30pm
Monday-Thursday 2pm-5pm, 6:30pm-10:30pm

During finals week the Writing Lab is open by appointment only.
