Learning Commons – Academic Support

Learning Commons-Academic Support (LC-AS) works with students at all levels to enable them to reach their full educational potential. Professional specialists in writing, mathematics, and study skills help students address academic deficiencies and sharpen skills necessary for college success. 

Peer tutors assist in most courses and majors through drop-in, scheduled, individual, group, and in-class tutoring. Tutors participate in a required training program to effectively and consistently support their peers. Zoom sessions with LC-AS tutoring staff and NetTutor online tutoring support are available for students who cannot access campus services. The LC-AS also offers resources to help instructors incorporate LC-AS services into their curricula.
