At Ellsworth Community College, the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) strives to provide an academic support system for students who need help reaching their goals. Individual and group study/tutoring areas and resource materials are available in a supportive atmosphere. The ACE is located in the lower level of Kruse-Main Hall.
ACE is open Monday through Thursday 8 am to 4:30 pm and Fridays 8 am to 3 pm during the fall and spring semesters. Come once or come often! Drop-In Homework Labs are free and open to all students, staffed by students who are in your classes and know how to help you with assignments/studying. Please see current Drop-In homework assistance Lab schedule in the ACE and posted on bulletin boards around campus.
Peer Tutoring provides free assistance for students enrolled in specific ECC courses. Tutors are students currently enrolled in the course or who have successfully completed the course. Normal tutoring includes two 50-minute sessions per week, arranged one-on-one during normal ACE hours. Students are encouraged to seek assistance as soon as they experience difficulty in a course, as it may take up to two weeks to arrange a tutoring schedule. To be assigned a peer tutor, students should contact a faculty member or visit Glennda Metzen in Kruse-Main. Students interested in becoming a tutor should contact the course instructor.
