The goals of the HAC tutoring program is to provide high quality, to provide individual assistance, serve as role model for successful learning, to motivate students to become better scholars, to provide fresh innovative solutions to operation problems and to refer students for other available services as needed. All HAC tutors undergo a specialized training course to ensure they are qualified in their subject area. The idea behind peer tutoring is to provide an environment that is less threatening for the students in need of help. Another program the HAC offers to help students succeed academically is the RISE program. The RISE program consists of supplemental instruction and RISE English Composition classes for freshman students.
Supplemental instruction provides small group study for interested students the day after a class.
Supplemental instructors, who have previously studied the subject, received high marks and received the approval of the course professor, attend classes and assist those enrolled in the targeted class. Above all, supplemental instruction is not re-lecturing. Rather, it gives students more time for study and mastery of content. Disability support services provides an equal educational opportunity for individuals who have physical or mental impairments that limit life activities such as walking, seeing, hearing, speaking and learning. Mrs. Sherry Schlenke administers this program.
