650 Academic Support

Pr-650.0.1 Academic and Career Enhancement (ACE) Center

The ACE Tutoring Center provides a variety of learning support services to help students improve basic skills, prepare for college work, and be successful in their college courses. It is open to all students registered for college credit classes as well as students who are working on their High School Equivalency Test (HISET). An academic computer lab is available to improve basic skills and support course work in a number of areas. Some assistance is provided on a walk-in basis – other services are available by appointment.

ACE Materials

The ACE Tutoring Center offers materials and resources related to a variety of subject areas. Faculty who wish to provide materials for use in the ACE Tutoring Center should forward them to the Dean of Learning Resources and Academic Support. Materials used for multiple courses are typically purchased by ACE Tutoring Center funds; those used for specific classes are charged to individual departments or programs.

First Alert

The First Alert Program is designed to help students who lack the essential skills to succeed in current course work, and who need more time and attention than faculty can devote to them. Faculty may refer students to First Alert to receive tutoring. The tutoring time may only involve a few sessions but more help is available if necessary. Faculty must obtain student's permission before referring students to the First Alert program. Once permission is obtained, faculty must complete a First Alert Referral Form, available through the division office coordinator. Students may also self-refer. For further information, call 636-922-8549.
Pr-651.0.1 Disability Support Services

The involvement and cooperation of the faculty in assisting students to overcome barriers is extremely important. In order to facilitate physical access, each classroom is equipped with a desk for wheelchair access.

If necessary, the College will make reasonable modifications to its academic requirements to comply with legal requirements ensuring that such requirements do not discriminate or have the effect of discriminating, on the basis of a student's known and adequately documented disability, unless the requested modification would require alteration of essential elements of the program, or essential elements of directly related licensing requirements, or would result in undue financial or administrative burdens. The faculty, in cooperation with the Disability Support Services Manager, will determine the appropriate modification or substitute. A Waiver and Substitution Form, along with additional information, can be found at Office of Disability Support Services.
