Academic Enrichment Center
ATTENTION: Effective July 1, 2012, the CLEP exam fee will be $80.
The AEC is your place for Academic Enrichment. Located in room 131 of Labry Hall, the AEC is where CU students can get academic assistance through peer tutoring and writing assistance. We also offer testing services for the Miller Analogies Test (MAT) and the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Feel free to stop by, call 615-547-1285, or email the Coordinator, Sheridan Henson at shenson@cumberland.edu.
Visit the AEC to get assistance with any of your classes. We can arrange for you to meet with a faculty member in any subject or get you a peer tutor for private study sessions. In addition to tutoring, the AEC offers walk-in writing assistance with a faculty-approved English tutor, a qualified Graduate Assistant, or the Center’s Coordinator. The AEC is here to provide you with the tools necessary to be successful, whether that means helping you pass your hardest class or turning a B into an A!
Want a quiet place to study? You can do that in the ACE Center too!
To schedule an appointment to take the MAT or CLEP, please email the Coordinator, Sheridan Henson at shenson@cumberland.edu. The test is offered Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm, by appointment.
