Academic Success & Study Skills

Learning Center tutors additionally offer 1:1 academic success and study skills appointments. Whether you require assistance with time management, organization, or effective studying, we are here to help!

Workshops

We hold several academic success workshops each term. Workshops are held in person and remotely online. Please stay tuned for our upcoming workshop schedule.

Learning Center Resources

Students visiting the Learning Center may take advantage of the Library’s quiet study spaces, textbooks, anatomic and veterinary models, and computers. Additionally, the Learning Center provides free access to time management and study resources in a range of convenient and adaptable formats.

Writing Assistance

If you would like your paper looked at and commented upon by a writing tutor but you don’t have time for an appointment, you can email your paper to tutoring@bianlifan.com (from your GCC account). Tutors are not editors or proofreaders, but they can help identify patterns or mistakes you make in your writing.
