Students can spread out their books and papers on our big tables, study with others or just sit in a study carrel and review their class notes.   There are two study rooms that can be reserved for up to two hours a day. 

Lots of students share this space, so please follow these guidelines:
  • Feel free to eat and drink while you study (except in the Computer Lab), but clean up after yourself.
  • Turn off cell phone ringers, and take your cell phone conversations outside.
  • Group study is welcome and encouraged.  Please keep the noise level down. 
  • Only use computers and printers for academic purposes.
  • Keep children’s visits to a minimum and for their safety, never leave them unsupervised. 
  • Children are not allowed in the Testing Center or Computer Lab.
  • Tobacco products are not allowed in the Learning Center.

Our diverse and able staff is prepared to answer questions you may have about Learning Center services and other campus resources. We are here to help you--please ask!

Computers, calculators, math and study skills video tapes, paper cutter, hole punch, staplers, and a coin operated copy machine are available for your use.


A Word About Checking In and Out

Students using the Learning Center must check in and out on the computers located next to the entry. The process is quick: type in your student ID number and press the Enter key. The system will flash your name on the screen to verify that you are checked in. Then you may proceed to whatever area you want to work in. When you leave the Center, stop once again and check out using the same procedure. Checking in and out helps ensure continuing services, and we really appreciate your cooperation!
