Academic Assistance Center
The Academic Assistance Center (AAC) provides freshman orientation classes, math skills instruction, tutoring, academic counseling, credit-by-examination, and entrance and professional examinations. Students with academic difficulties are aided directly by a staff member or assisted in locating the appropriate campus service or program.
Free tutoring is available in a variety of introductory courses to any K-State student. Students wanting regular assistance are assigned to small groups that meet weekly with a peer tutor who assists with course content and learning strategies. Students can sign up for tutoring sessions in 101 Holton Hall. Walk-in help is also available in many high demand courses.
The University Experience course helps students find effective ways to make the transition from high school to college; discover how to gain the most from co-curricular activities; learn about K-State policies, procedures, and services; practice skills required for academic success; explore interests, academic strengths, values, and career goals; and become exposed to diverse insights, strategies, and techniques that are essential to success in a multicultural world. This is a graded, elective course that may be taken for two or three credits. The three-credit version is referred to as Enhanced University Experience. It involves two additional hours of lab each week, where the academic skills learned are practiced in science, social science, and math courses. Interested students can contact the AAC or ask their advisors for additional information.
The PILOTS Program is a cooperative, year-long program meant to provide structure, encourage academic discipline and critical reasoning, and develop leadership potential for qualifying, entering freshmen. Students interested in PILOTS should check with their academic advisor to find out if they fit the PILOTS academic profile.
The Academic Transitions Program bridges the gap between minority students and existing university support services. New freshmen and transfer students can meet with an academic counselor who can help with their adjustment to university life and refer them to peer mentoring and other support services. Mentoring and monitoring are also provided to reinstated students and those on academic warning.
