Math Lab

The Student Success Program (SSP) is the umbrella unit that oversees academic support services at Spelman College. SSP uses best practices and essential resources to provide excellent academic support to help students realize their full potential.

The Math Lab offers drop-in tutoring, appointment tutoring, and a productive student workspace. The primary goal is to provide quality tutorial services to undergraduate students at Spelman College. Services are free and available in a variety of mathematics courses and software (i.e., Contemporary Mathematics, Intermediate Algebra, Pre-Calculus I and II, Calculus I, II, and III, Differential Equations, Maple, MATLAB).

All Spelman students are welcome to come, study, and ask questions. The Math Lab is staffed by Spelman College students.
