Our mission is to
facilitate a community of learners by coordinating high quality
tutoring, structured study groups and offering study skills workshops
for Towson University students.
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 4 decentralized
locations across campus, as well as tutoring that occurs at the center.
In 2004 the tutoring program received 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
has expanded to include Athletics, and the Student Daycare Center for
scheduling and tracking visits as well as observations.
Fall 2005, the Math tutoring lab moved to
a new location in YR 7800, room 105, and in Fall 2006, the Computer
Science tutoring lab moved to a new location in YR7800, room 416 and in
October placement testing moved to Academic Advising in the Lecture
Hall.
The main Academic Achievement Center will be moved to Cook
Library, room 524, during the January 2007session.
The Academic Achievement Center staff
continues to assist with two pilot programs, ASAP and Top 10%
in support of President Caret's 2010 plan. Currently structured
study sessions are offered as a pilot program in support of the
developmental math students.
