Student Success Services FAQ Series #2: Academic Learning Center update
Q: What changes have taken place at the Academic Learning Center this
semester?
A: The mission of the Academic Learning Center (ALC) is to:
* Assist students who are having difficulty with academic classes,
* Promote independent learning,
* Proactively endow students with the skills that promote academic
success and prevent academic difficulty.
After an extensive assessment of our services, including a survey of
several other colleges and universities, we have made some changes this
term to include the following:
* A recommitment to utilizing methods which will develop
independent learners
* We have boosted staffing of core areas of math and English; all
tutors now hold at least a bachelor's degree in their field and
participate in tutor training and continuing education;
* Expanded services to area campuses
* Supplemental instruction in introductory/general chemistry, and
anatomy & physiology
* Equipment upgrades in the ALC-Computer Lab
A new component this term is the Academic Success Lab. This lab will
work with students on an individual basis to develop academic success
strategies that will serve the student in coursework across the
curriculum. Services available include:
* An individual assessment of their academic concerns, their
learning style and study skills.
* An individualized success plan is developed with each student
based on their needs.
* Workshops are offered on relevant topics (study skills, note
taking, test taking strategies)
* Referrals to other workshops, programs and labs
For any questions about the Academic Learning Center, contact Gene
Ritter, Director, at 6615.
