Math Achievement Center (MAC) Help

Attendance in the MAC is arranged and should be treated like a regular class that you attend daily at a specific time.

Students are required to complete an attendance form in Canvas each week where they report their time spent reading, doing homework, or practicing for exams. Students are expected to do a minimum of five hours if they are enrolled in five credits and three hours if they are enrolled in 1-3 credits.

• Attendance forms can be picked up in the MAC.
• Turn in a form every Friday for full credit. Forms will not be accepted late. It can be turned in early!
• Once per quarter a missed attendance can be made up by attending an extra workshop. Indicate on the form that it is a makeup and have the workshop instructor sign it.
• Attendance represents 10% of your overall grade.

• Complete homework sets and exams by the recommended dates.
• Spend time in the MAC lab to get help from the instructors, assistants and tutors.
• Use resources available with MyMathLab.
