Learning Appointments
Access individual sessions from a professional Learning Specialist to maximize your academic skills and outcomes. We offer both in-person and virtual individual appointments.

- time management
- reading strategies for textbooks, articles, and other texts
- note-taking
- exam prep
- study skills
- task analysis
- critical thinking
- oral presentations
How to Prepare for a Learning Appointment
You may opt to bring some of the following materials with you:
- course syllabi

Alternatively, you can just bring questions.
