The Truman College Math Center & CIS Lab is one of the academic support centers offering a comprehensive list of resources to help students succeed in their mathematics, CIS, and business courses and studies. Provided resources include tutoring staff composed of adjunct instructors and professional tutors. Additionally, the team offers workshops on various topics suggested and led by faculty or staff. These workshops are typically organized according to course level to serve students’ needs.
The Center consists of computers for online homework, calculators, and textbooks aligned with courses for students to borrow on-site using the CCC student ID.
