We are very excited to announce the launch of Academic Approach 2.0. We have completely redesigned the student interface as well as the course navigation to make your Academic Approach experience the best that it can be. The new AcademicApproach.com is not only easier to navigate, but it is also filled with audio and visual teaching tools to enhance your learning experience. Academic mentors now guide you through the lessons, while instructional videos add another layer of teaching.
Your personal dashboard has also been updated to provide a more comprehensive course overview and easier access to your diagnostic test results and score reports. All of your test and exercise scores will automatically transfer to your new dashboard and will appear when you log in to your account.
As always, should you have any questions about the new courses or dashboard or if you experience any problems, please feel free to contact us either by email at support@theacademicapproach.com, or by phone at 773-831-4662.
