The MLC provides free drop-in tutoring and free study group sessions for mathematics courses numbered through 216.
Though help is not regularly available for other courses, we will attempt to answer the questions of any U-M student who comes to us for mathematics help.
In the Fall and Winter semesters, walk-in tutoring and study groups are available in the MLC space:
B860 East Hall
530 Church St
Ann Arbor, MI 48109
In addition, some math classes include Mastery Assessments designed to give students enough time and support to master the new concepts being taught.
Proctored Mastery Assessments need to be taken at the testing labs in the basement of East Hall: EH B069, B727, B723, and B722.

Mathematics Learning Center (MLC) Group Homework Policy: In order to work on Group Homework with the MLC staff, at least two members of your homework group must be present. The MLC policy is to assist the group in coming to its own conclusions.
In keeping with the University policies on conflict of interest, instructors teaching mathematics courses shall not give private tutoring or instruction for pay to students in any sections of the same courses that they are currently teaching or in which they are serving as course coordinator or assistant.
