Assistance for Student Success

For any of my students who may need help with written assignments, Pierce offers a Writing Lab and help at the Learning Center.

The English Department Writing Lab is located in Room 1612. The hours are Monday and Tuesday 9-3:15; Wednesday 9-2:15; and Thursday 9:30-12:15. One-on-one writing help is available free of charge. One print out of each assignment is free of charge.

The Learning Center provides services to enhance student success and offers help in a variety of subjects, including English skills. All services are free to currently enrolled Pierce students, but there is a $3 minimum printing charge. The tutoring program is in room 1613, which you enter from room 1604, the location of the computer lab. The computer lab has 62 computer stations available for student use. A print card can be purchased at the book store. The hours of the Learning Center are Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday 8:00 am.-2:00 p.m.

In addition to these services, Pierce College has published a Student Success Workshop Calendar for Spring 2007. You may be able to find information at http://www.piercecollege.edu/offices/counseling or check at the welcome desk in the Administration Building for a copy of the schedule. Workshop topics include such things as filing out a FASA, writing resumes, transfering, learning disabilities, stress management, using the library and time management. There are 10 workshops scheduled before the end of the month.
