Where can I get help?

  • NOTE! Contact your instructor.
    • All full-time instructors have ten hours set aside each week to meet with their students about academic concerns. Most instructors list their office hours in the class syllabus.
    • Your instructor can help you assess what your chances are of being successful in your class and can make suggestions on what you need to do to improve.
  • NOTE! Go to the Learning Lab.
    • In the Learning Lab full-time faculty can help you strengthen your reading, writing, or mathematics skills.
    • Assistance is free and is available on a drop-in basis.
    • The Lab, located in the LRC-200, North wing, top floor, operates most of the hours the College is open.
