Learning Support Services
Success in college is closely tied to having and using effective learning and study skills. Learning Support Services includes various University resources available to help students develop and strengthen their learning skills. Workshops on time management, study skills, memory techniques, test taking and others are offered at most campus locations and University College Centers. Computerized resources such as LASSI (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory) can be accessed over the Internet to help students explore their learning process. Learning Support also provides tutoring in most developmental and introductory level courses and coordinates accommodations and services for students with disabilities. Students should contact their advisor, counselor or student service coordinator to learn more about available resources and strategies. Specific campus contacts are listed below.
