Live Online 24/7 Tutoring​   

Students who need support outside of Learning Center hours can use virtual tutoring available through Tutor.com. Find it in all of the Blackboard courses within the “Student Support” module. 

Academic Coaching​ 

​Academic coaching is a one-on-one holistic partnership with a student that focuses on study skill development, campus engagement, short and long-term goals, and general academic performance. If you would like to strengthen your study skills and habits, you may request academic coaching by contacting the Learning Center.
