Take Summer Classes at DMACC

Tutoring is a support service available to all DMACC students. The Tutoring Department employs peer tutors to assist students with difficult courses. Knowledgeable tutors can assist students by reviewing the course material, answering questions, and reviewing for exams. When combined with other support services offered through the Academic Achievement Center, tutoring becomes a powerful ally in learning difficult course material.

You don't have to make your life fit into a traditional academic year. DMACC recognizes 16 weeks of classes that start in the fall and spring isn't the best fit for everyone. If you're looking for a schedule that works for you, then consider taking DMACC FAST Classes: Flexible Accelerated, Shorter-Term.

DMACC FAST Classes are condensed and offer more sessions throughout the year, but you earn the same credits you would in a semester-long class. Graduation and career success will come sooner than you think!
