Resources
The Center for Academic Support & Enrichment at APSU is in the process of developing new content for this page to assist our students. Please check back frequently to see what new items are available. The material on these pages have been donated by APSU faculty, staff, tutors, and students. We invite you to review these resources. If you find or create other resources that you would like to share, we invite you to send them to woodringb@apsu.edu .
Types of materials requested
The Center for Academic Support & Enrichment believes that students learn best when they are actively engaged in their learning process. Contributions which guide students to explore information and create learning materials for their own use are welcomed. Contributions which do not encourage individual engagement (example: already created flash cards) will not be used.
