Center for Academic Success |
 The
Center for Academic Success coordinates the following programs:
Academic Advising
The cornerstone for student success is academic advising.
Academic advising is provided for all students. Academic
advising helps students assess their career and life goals as
well as understand their test scores, select classes, plan a
schedule, and interpret College policies. Advising is available
to students throughout the year. Students meet with an advisor
before each registration to assess their progress, select
classes, and develop a schedule to meet their needs. Students
intending to transfer to another college or university are
strongly advised to contact the transfer institution of their
choice to determine specific degree requirements.
Adult Basic Education/General Educational
Development (ABE/GED) Program
This program prepares adults to test successfully for the
general Educational Development (GED) diploma and offers free
individualized instruction in reading, English, spelling,
vocabulary, and mathematics at the pre-college level.
Assessment
Miles Community College administers the COMPASS placement test
to assess student skills. Assessment results are used by
academic advisors to match students with courses that are
consistent with their skill level. COMPASS scores will be valid
for one year from the date of the original assessment, and
students are permitted no more than two retests per discipline
each semester.
Assistance for Students With Disabilities
Miles Community College provides support services for otherwise
qualified students with disabilities. The College is committed
to providing reasonable accommodations within the scope of the
College’s programs and resources to ensure that qualified
students with disabilities are able to enjoy the same rights and
assume the same responsibilities as any other student. Students
with disabilities who would like to request accommodations are
required to provide documentation of their disability to the
Counselor in order to arrange for appropriate, reasonable
accommodations.
Developmental Studies
The Developmental Studies Program provides individualized
instruction in reading, English, and mathematics for students
requiring refresher classes before entering college- level
courses. This instruction is provided free of charge.
English as a Second Language
The English as a Second Language (ESL) Program provides
instruction for students having English as their second
language. Based on individual need, the ESL curriculum offers
skill development in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
This instruction is provided free of charge unless taken for
credit and/or in conjunction with regular college courses.
Transitional Studies
This program provides free instruction in math, study skills,
and composition at a college review level for students who are
reentering school or who did not have college preparation
courses in high school.
Tutoring
Students who struggle to understand classroom information or to
complete routine assignments may need the assistance of a tutor.
With the individualized assistance that tutoring offers,
students can master academic material at their own pace. Tutors
are available for most courses offered and are chosen for their
academic ability and desire to help others. There is no charge
for this service.
Students who are interested in becoming a tutor should go to the
Center for Academic Success or call (406) 874-6152 or (800)
541-9281.
