Course support
Peer and professional tutors cover quantitative reasoning through calculus, statistics and major-specific mathematics.
Placement
Students review placement results with an adviser and may use preparation modules before attempting a reassessment.
Workshops
Exam reviews and topic sessions target high-demand concepts without replacing regular course participation.
Drop in or schedule
The center runs open tables staffed by peer and professional tutors for quick questions, plus scheduled weekly sessions for students who want a standing plan. Tutors are trained to ask questions rather than work the problem for the student.
Placement, honestly
Placement results are reviewed with an adviser, and a student who is close can use preparation modules and retake the assessment once before the term starts. Being placed a course lower is common and usually cheaper than failing the course above.
In and around Porter Falls
Support at Porter is deliberately clustered on the first two levels of Halvorsen Library so a student can move from an advising conversation to a tutor to a writing consultant without leaving the building or re-explaining the situation. Walk-in hours run late Monday through Thursday during the semester, and everything can also be booked through MyPorter.
The practical details
Location: Halvorsen Library, Level 1. Coverage: Quantitative reasoning through calculus, statistics, applied math. Cost: Free; no appointment needed for drop-in. These specifics can shift from term to term, so confirm anything time-sensitive — a deadline, an appointment, an eligibility rule — before you count on it.
If you have a question
This is handled by Student Success Center (Halvorsen Library, Level 1). Call (715) 555-0170 or email success@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or use MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If another office turns out to own the question, they will pass it along rather than send you back to the beginning.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
