THE AAC: WHERE ENGAGED LEARNING HAPPENS!
Services include course-based peer tutoring, academic success coaching, workshops and more. Come see staff at the Academic Achievement Center to:
- practice and review content from your classes,
- participate in engaged learning with your peers, and
- improve your academic self-confidence and competence
You can engage with us in multiple ways—in person or online, appointment-based or drop-in.
AAC services are provided to any UNCG student at no additional cost; our mission is funded by the state and university, as well as gifts from alumni and grant funding.
