ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT SERVICES
UNCW offers students a variety of exciting educational opportunities. However, many students find themselves underprepared for the demands of university life. In keeping with the University Learning Center's mission to foster independent learning and transferable skills, Academic Achievement Services provides students with training and support for skills such as time management, note-taking, and test preparation so that students can make the most of what UNCW has to offer.

STEM SERVICES
The STEM Lab supports students by providing tutoring for many Math and Science courses (such as MAT, STT, PHY, and more), as well as any course with a math or statistics component. In addition, students who visit the STEM Lab can get help with math study skills and math anxiety. STEM tutors help students make the transition to college mathematics as well as supporting students in upper division math and statistics courses. STEM Services is now offering one-on-one appointments for selected courses. Please check the website for further details:

SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION (SI)
Supplemental Instruction (SI) is a series of peer-led group review sessions designed to help students succeed in historically difficult courses. In the SI session, the SI Leader facilitates students as they collaborate on reviewing lecture notes, discussing textbook reading assignments, and reviewing for tests. SI Leaders attend class regularly, are available as a resource to students, and can update the class about schedule changes, etc. As a group they strengthen learning skills, build community, network with other students, develop good study habits, and master content.

TUTORING SERVICES
Tutoring Services provides content tutoring for most University Studies classes. At Tutoring Services, qualified tutors are trained to work effectively with other UNCW students and support them in achieving their academic goals. This mission translates into a tutoring practice that integrates what to study with how to study, thereby fostering independent learning and developing skills that will transfer to other courses.
