Learning Assistance Center (LAC)

The LAC is staffed by education specialists, professional tutors and peer tutors who provide small group and one-on-one instruction in math, learning strategies and other content areas.
NOTE: One-on-one instruction is not a private tutoring session.

The LAC also provides activities and programs designed to help students increase their confidence and independence as they work to develop their academic skills. Instructional support programs and services are available to all students.
