Math Resource Center
The Math Resource Center is available to all students currently enrolled in a math class at JCCC.
In order to use the lab, you will be required to give a picture ID and one of the following: a set of car keys, cell phone or a textbook currently used in a JCCC class.
Tutors
Free assistance is available from the Math Resource Center tutors every hour the center is open. The tutors wear nametags so they are easy to identify.
Don't hesitate to ask for assistance if you need it. Tutors circulate around the room and help you as soon as they are available. Please work while you are waiting. You may spend as much time as you wish in the MRC.
