History of the Academic Center for Excellence

In the late 1960's, the English Department, using adjunct faculty and English majors as volunteer tutors, offered individualized tutoring in what became the first IU South Bend Writing Lab. As the Writing Lab evolved into the Writing Center with its own dedicated space and budget, it moved from the English Department and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to Academic Affairs. In response to the success of the Writing Center and the need for tutoring in all subjects, Supplemental Instruction was established in the mid-90s, along with tutoring in some subjects, all under the auspices of the Academic Resource Center. In the fall of 2003, the Learning Center opened in the Administration Building. Also in 2003, all support for academic courses moved under the organizational umbrella of Academic Learning Services, a part of Student Services. The Learning Center's Tutoring Program now provides support for virtually all of the university's gateway courses.
