responsibility to contact and register with the Disability Services Office, and provide them with
documentation of your disability, so they can determine what accommodations are appropriate for your

Math Center
The Math Center is a study space for all students on campus, whether you need a little help, a lot of help,
or none at all. They have a staff of about 20 tutors who have taken at least through Calculus 3, and who
have been trained to work with students one on one. The center is a great place to sit on your own or with
classmates, work on homework, study for exams, review concepts from previous classes, or just check
your homework answers. The Math Center is located in Engineering 233, and is open Monday – Thursday
8:00 am – 7:00 pm, Friday 8:00 am – 4:30 pm, Sunday 11:00 am – 3:00 pm, and online (to be
announced). Come in, sign in, and have a seat. If you have a question, raise your hand and a tutor will
come to you. You can find the schedule of tutors, and a lot more information about the center at the Math
Center’s webpage.
Peer Assisted Study Sessions
A Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS) component is provided in this course for all students who want to
improve their understanding of the material. PASS sessions are led by a student who has already
mastered the course material and has been trained to facilitate group sessions where students can meet to
compare class notes, review and discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying, and prepare
for exams. Attendance at PASS sessions is free and voluntary. Students may attend as many times as
they choose. Students who regularly attend PASS sessions earn, on average, a letter grade higher than
students who do not attend. PASS sessions begin the first or second week of class and continue
throughout the semester. A session schedule will be announced in class. For information about the
program and session schedule/updates, visit us online!
