Learning Support Services
Success in college is closely tied to possessing and using effective learning and study skills. The Department of Learning Support Services provides a wide array of resources to help students develop and strengthen their learning skills, so that they become more effective, self-confident and independent learners.
Workshops on time management, study skills, memory techniques, test taking and others are offered at most campus locations and University College Centers. Learning Support also provides tutoring in most developmental and introductory level courses, and coordinates accommodations and services for students with disabilities.
