What do I need to do to complete Learning Support?

Here are five simple steps!

1. Attendance is your key to success. Expect to come to class twice a week and work for 4-5 hours outside of class to pass.
2. Work ahead early and don't get behind. Once you have finished all your work, you can stop attending!
3. Get your Learning Support done early so you can move on to your college classes.  You can finish it all your first semester. Don't delay!
4. Take advantage of our tutors in the Learning Center. If you work with us twice a week, you'll be much more likely to get an A!
5. You cannot drop a Learning Support class without approval. Don't plan on dropping if you fall behind.

Taking the diagnostic exams for either Math, Reading or Writing Learning Support will allow a student the opportunity to test out of part or all of their Learning Support classes.  You must be registered in a Learning Support class to be albe to take the diagnostic exam.  The diagnostic exam is designed to assess a student’s abilities in the material that is covered within each course.  For details on how to test out of a class simply click on one of the links below.
