Academic Success Center
Subject Matter Tutoring & Writing Assistance
The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides face-to-face and some online assistance in a variety of subject areas.
Types of Tutoring
Five types of tutoring are available for MNU students through the ASC: designated walk-in tutoring, small group tutoring, tutoring by appointment, and workshops, and online drop-off writing support. The subject, course, and tutors’ availability determine the type of tutoring offered. Because the ASC team realizes the need for support at all times of the day (and night), professional tutoring is available 24/7 via NetTutor (Live tutor subject hours may vary).
The Academic Success Center has received certification as a Level 1 tutor training program from the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).

Writing assistance is not provided through the ASC on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Papers submitted on a Thursday will be returned on Monday at the earliest. Graduate, professional, and undergraduate students are invited to bring their papers for review in-person.
*ASC writing tutors can review course papers for grammar, punctuation, spelling, organization of ideas/flow, clarity, etc. but do not provide APA citation and formatting assistance. For APA assistance, please contact Dr. Mark Hayse, Library Director at mahayes@mnu.edu or Dr. Addison Lucchi, Instructional/Research Librarian and Professor of English at amlucchi@mnu.edu
