Learning Center Guidelines
To help ensure the Learning Center is used effectively, please review the following expectations:
- Space is first come, first served. Signing up does not guarantee a spot if capacity has been reached.
- Students should only sign up if they have schoolwork to complete or need academic tutoring/support.
- Students who do not have work to complete or do not need tutoring will not be permitted to attend the Learning Center.
- Students are expected to use their time productively and follow all Learning Center expectations while they are there.
Our goal is to make the Learning Center a valuable academic resource that provides small group tutoring for students who need it. Thank you for helping us ensure that this space remains focused on learning and academic support.
