11/21/2022 Academic Affairs Weekly Student Update
Hello Cambridge College Students:
This will be a short week, and we are all looking forward to the upcoming holiday break. If you have time this week, we have a few excellent workshops coming up and our student support services are continuing without interruption.
Tutoring and Academic Support
This is the time of the semester when many of you will start to have major assignments coming up. If you are struggling with your courses or a particular assignment, keep in mind that our Academic Success Center offers free live tutoring (on Zoom) to any student who needs help with coursework, assignments, research papers, and the like. Our professional tutors have expertise in writing, math, statistics, accounting, technology, and MTEL support. To make an appointment with a tutor, log into Starfish and click on Academic Success Center on your home screen. For more detailed instructions, see the information on the Tutorials Page on MyCC or click here>>.

Each 'Community Time' event will have a topic for discussion and provide an opportunity to share your story, as well as connect with peers and colleagues in a safe space.
