Study Skills

If you are studying frequently but not achieving the outcome you hope, it may be time to assess your study skills and habits. Students are encouraged to first consult with their course instructor when having difficulty in a course. A good second step is to evaluate your study techniques and habits.

Sometimes students aren't sure where or how to begin changing study habits. If you fall in this category, start by learning what your Learning Style is or by taking the Learning and Study Skills Inventory (LASSI). If you want to take the LASSI please request the School Number, User Name and Password from us by email or calling 332-2898. The results of both of these inventories can help you find a place to start!

Staff members from the Learning Commons can provide assistance with concentration and motivation, note taking, reading, test taking strategies, and time management.

To make an appointment call us in the Learning Commons at 332.2898, stop by our office on the main floor of Pelletier Library between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday to Friday, or requesting an appointment using this web form.
