Academic Advising Centers

Academic Advising Centers (AAC) provide convenient, personalized academic support from peer advisors and tutors for every residence hall student. Peer advisors from all four Colleges – Letters & Science, Agricultural & Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, and Engineering – and The First Resort (Advising Services) provide academic planning assistance, major exploration, grading options, internship information, and connections with other campus resources. In addition, tutors from the Learning Skills Center are available most evenings on a drop-in basis for free assistance with common first-year courses like math, chemistry, statistics and writing. And for residents who are simply looking for a space to study, read or work on group projects, the AAC is the ideal place.
