Learning Support
We provide academic support for students who need assistance in developing their skills in math, reading, and writing. Learning Support is located in Room 360 of the Volpe Library.
- Math
Students without ACT or SAT math scores or math college credit must take ACCUPLACER math for placement. Students may challenge that placement by taking/retaking the math portion of the ACCUPLACER exam.
