Intensive Summer Math Program
Taking DMAT this summer at Richland College?
Could you use a tutor to help you with the concepts?
Interested in getting your books and materials free of charge?
Would you like an opportunity to improve your placement scores too?
We have the answer for you!
If you answered yes to any of those questions, we may have an opportunity for you. This summer, you may be eligible to participate FREE of charge in an intensive Developmental Mathematics class starting June 4, 2011 (includes tuition, text, courseware access code, other classroom materials, credit by exam costs, and gift certificates towards the cost of books). In addition to the DMAT class you will receive sessions on successful study skills for mathematics, meet with a mentor, and have the privilege of working with an experienced tutor to assist you with your homework assignments on a daily basis.
This opportunity is limited so please do not delay!
Funding for this project was made possible by a grant from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
