Welcome to the Learning Resource Center

Located on the first floor of the César E. Chávez Library, the Learning Resource Center provides equitable access to academic support services, experiential learning spaces, and technology resources that strengthen and sustain student success.

 

The Learning Resource Center (LRC) houses three academic support services: Tutoring Center (TC), ESL Lab, and the Open Computer Lab (OCL), where students can work independently or request one-to-one tutoring in a wide variety of academic subject areas.

The LRC's tutoring centers are certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) (opens in new tab). The CRLA is an international authority that certifies organizations and individual tutors who meet its professional training and review standards.
