The Academic Achievement Center (AAC) was created in 2003 by a merger of Developmental Education and Tutorial Services under the direction of Terri Massie-Burrell. The AAC oversees tutoring at four decentralized locations across campus, as well as tutoring that occurs at the center.
In 2004 the tutoring program received College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) certification up through level 3 and placement testing progressed from paper and pencil tests to computer adaptive testing using Accuplacer™. TutorTrac™ is now utilized to track tutoring sessions and implementation includes the University Childcare Center for scheduling and tracking visits as well as observations and the Developmental Math Lab for tracking attendance.
In fall 2005, the Math Tutoring Lab was relocated to 7800 York Road, room 105. In fall 2006, the Computer Science Tutoring Lab moved to 7800 York Road, room 416, and in October of that year Placement Testing moved to Academic Advising in the Lecture Hall.
The main Academic Achievement Center moved to Cook Library, room 524, during the January 2007 session and during the fall 2010 semester, Placement Testing became a part of the Academic Achievement Center again.
