The Assessment and Testing Center
The Assessment and Testing Center at MSU Denver administers assessment exams in three areas: Writing, Mathematics, and Reading. Students must take all three exams in order to fulfill the minimum requirements for entrance to college level courses, or must be able to provide adequate ACT Scores. Please note that the scores from these exams are used to assist advisors and students in selecting appropriate course work. A link to each test is hereafter provided together with sample test information and exam location. After viewing the schedule please note the session you want to register for and then call 303-575-5880.
The Writing Center
A service available to all Metro students who want to improve their writing. The mission of the MSU Denver Writing Center is an instructional one. Rather than providing editing and proof reading service, the tutors help students to become more independent, more confident, more competent writers. That work is accomplished best when students come to the center on a regular basis for on-going work with the same tutor who is then able to diagnose particular students' problems and to help them deal with those concerns.
Students come to the center as the result of informal referrals or advice from the faculty, staff, or peers; after hearing about the Writing Center in a class orientation session; through formal written referrals by instructors or other staff; and through finding us on their own to seek help that they perceive they need. The Center maintains thorough computer records about all clients and each of their visits.
The Mathematics Tutoring Center
It has one-on-one tutoring for Metro Mathematics students taking Mathematics General Studies courses as well as Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics and Linear Algebra. It functions on a first-come-first-served basis in SI226. The department also has a tutor in SI124A (computer lab.) to help students in Java, C++, Introduction to Computers and Web Applications, who are taking CSI and CSS courses.
