Good morning Lions! Our ACS Prefects are here to help you. Could you use a little help in one or more of your classes this semester? Are you a new student or someone who could use help with the English language, or perhaps you'd like to learn a new language? Our Prefects would love to help. Stop by Student Services to pick up and drop off an application to access our Free Homework Help, Tutoring, and Prefect Mentorship. We will do the rest. Applications are limited, so don't wait. We look forward to meeting and working with you. From: the ACS Prefect Program.
