Academic Support Area Hours and Services Academic Support is located in Bremer 116 and offers a place to study, make up tests, and use computers -- and much more.  Here are details.

Keep in mind that you can get help learning to use HCC email or with other computer related questions over in Bremer Hall in the Academic Support Area. They also have approximately 90 computers for student use, in addition to other services.

Smarthinking--online tutoring services

I would encourage you to visit ASA in the first two weeks to get help signing up for a brand new service for students called SMARTHINKING. This is an online tutoring service; I will post a flyer for you. Every student has an account and can get up to 20 hours between August 2004 and August 2005. However, you need to register and set up your account to use SMARTHINKING.

Here is the flyer for Smarthinking, with instructions for getting your account set up.

Remember, you need to submit your paper as a .doc or .rtf. You should always copy and paste the grading slip for that assignment to the end of your essay, so that the tutor has more information about the requirements for the assignment. You will go back to the Smarthinking account to check for your returned paper: it will show up in the little inbox at the bottom of the page.

Smarthinking Power Point

Here is a power point presentation that explains more about how to use the services.
