Sometimes you’ve got it, sometimes you don’t. The Learning Commons is a resource for tutoring and academic support coaching. Designed to support the academic achievement of every student, the Learning Commons engages students, faculty and staff to promote learning, resilience, persistence and academic success.

Within the Learning Commons, trained staff provide free tutoring services for math, science, business, reading, writing and languages. Academic success coaches are also available to help students develop customized success plans to meet their academic and personal objectives. The Learning Commons strives to be a student-centered environment that provides equal service to individuals at all levels of education and preparedness.

Learning Commons services are available online through the website. On the Northwest Campus, the Learning Commons is integrated within the library, where students can use general study spaces and study rooms or meet for snacks and coffee in the Coffee 101 Café.

Students at the educational centers can work together or one-on-one with rotating tutors and coaches or by accessing virtual sessions with the Learning Commons. The Andrews, Blount, Davis and Watson centers have writing and math tutors onsite, as well as study spaces with computers and internet access for doing homework. At the Blount Center, the Learning Commons is located inside of Blount Hall on the corner of West University Avenue and Sixth Street.
