Academic Assistance

Academic Center for Excellence

The Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), located in the Learning Commons Library building, supports students by promoting independent self-directed learning. We offer free tutoring programs for students in need of extra help or looking to further their educational goals. Our tutoring programs include open labs and tutorials for A&P and Biological Sciences, Math Lab, Writing Center, Study Skills, peer tutoring, and group study sessions. During tutoring sessions, students can ask questions, learn at their own pace, and receive immediate feedback.

Students who want to discuss academic support offerings can meet with an ACE tutor to talk about their learning strengths and challenges. ACE can help refresh essential study skills such as organizing time and materials, taking lecture notes, reading and studying textbooks, and preparing for tests. ACE offers help in the following areas:

  • Placement Testing
  • Writing Center, Math Lab, and Study Solutions Lab
  • The SQR3 Method of Textbook Study

Academic Advising

NHTI academic advisors help define students’ academic, career, and life goals. Whether students need guidance selecting classes, transferring to a 4-year school, or clarifying long-term goals, an academic advisor is here to help. NHTI’s advising program provides the knowledge to identify personal, academic, and career goals; develop an educational and career plan; and monitor progress toward achieving these goals. Academic advisors can help:

  • Empower students to be active participants in their decision-making processes.
  • Connect students to the community using school resources, student clubs and organizations, athletic teams, work-study programs, and student activities.
  • Help students understand themselves, develop critical thinking and reasoning skills, and clarify values.
  • Provide advising services that are visible and available to everyone.

The Academic Advising Center is located in the Learning Commons Library Building. Visit the Academic Advising Center online to schedule your appointment.
