WEINGARTEN LEARNING RESOURCES CENTER Parents and family members are often the first to hear about students’ academic challenges and stress surrounding assignments and exams. The Weingarten Learning Resources Center houses three central University offices that support the academic lives of Penn’s undergraduate and graduate students. All services and programs of both offices are free and confidential. The Office of Learning Resources (OLR)
The Office of Student Disabilities Services (SDS)
The Office of Learning Resources helps students expand University-relevant study strategies to meet the academic challenges that accompany the many opportunities to learn and grow intellectually. Professional instruction in academic reading, writing, study strategies, and time/project management is available through individual appointments and walk-in sessions. Group instruction is also available through workshops that address the needs and interests of specific groups of students. A signature workshop series, Mastering the Ivy League, is held each fall for first-year students. The Fresh Start workshop series is held each spring semester.
The Office of Student Disabilities Services (SDS) helps self-identified students with disabilities access equal opportunities in all academic and University-sponsored programs. Professional staff work with individual students to transition from high school to Penn. The staff evaluates documentation, determines reasonable accommodations, and provides information and disability-related assistance.
