Studies show that students who use Michigan Tech’s Learning Centers earn better grades. Some of the best students encounter academic problems because they’ve never had to study before. While high school may have been very easy, you may feel challenged in this new and more rigorous academic environment. Learning Centers, organized by discipline, can help you succeed.
Learning Centers are staffed by students who have been successful in learning academic material. They offer coaching on subjects ranging from differential equations and organic chemistry to writing an essay and getting tips on learning and taking tests.
Most centers offer weekly appointments for long-term improvement, walk-in hours for short-term help with an immediate problem, and team/peer learning.
If you feel as though you’re falling behind in class, or if you’d like to boost your grades, visit a Learning Center.

Yes. Courses must be taken together as a full set of associated courses. However, learning communities leave room for you to take additional classes. You'll select these classes when you meet with your academic advisor during your SLU 101 visit. If you have prior credit for a course or the course does not fit your major academic course plan, you can request an exemption from a learning community course. There are four general reasons that a learning community student may be excused from one or more of their learning community courses.
1) The student has prior credit; advanced placement/dual enrollment/transfer credit.
2) The student has not met a prerequisite for the learning community course.
3) The learning community course conflicts with a requirement for their major; including a course sequence issue (please note: all other learning community course options and scheduling options must be exhausted before an exemption is given to the student).
4) The student is a student-athlete; in the Billiken Success Program; or in the INTO program and has a programming conflict.
