Academic Learning Commons
Learning Commons
The Learning Commons is designed for Walk-In assistance for writing and subject tutoring, no appointment necessary! Please check hours below. If you'd prefer to make an appointment, check the Quick Links to book a tutor or librarian or visit the Virtual Learning Commons page.
A Holistic Environment
The Learning Commons is for those who want to work on their studies in a space where peer and professional tutors standby ready to help. Students will be immersed in an open learning area and afforded access to materials, professionals, information, and peer in a space that enhances their academic experience at the university. Undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students have free access to tutors who are trained by Tutoring Services and Writing Center and a full staff of librarians is only a few steps away if research assistance is required.
Location & Amenities
Located on the first floor of the JET Library, the Learning Commons is an open space designed to foster collaboration and discussion with multiple tables for group work and tutoring sessions. Tutors also have access to an attached conference room style space for sessions requiring a more quiet environment. Available equipment includes 8 computers, a printer, microfilm/microfiche reader, and a touch screen set to the Virtual Learning Commons to assist with setting up additional appointments with a Librarian, Subject or Writing tutor.
