The Learning Resource Center. The Learning Resource Center (LRC) provides services to all university students who would like to become more independent and efficient learners. Services to faculty include assistance in forming study groups for students enrolled in courses and/or help forming supplemental instruction groups led by a trained student SI leader.

Workshops and handouts on improving learning skills such as time management, note taking, test anxiety, plus other areas are available each semester. Our Web page features numerous links to learning skills and research sites. Apply online for tutoring or for a job as a tutor.

The Intensive Learning Experience (ILE) Program. This program provides academic assistance to freshmen who score at or below the lower quartile on the EPT (T141 and E7) and/or the ELM (370 or below). ILE features courses in English, English as a second language, intermediate algebra, and reading with a low teacher-student ratio, counseling services, and academic advising.
