You can also access the Tutoring Room (with computers and a printer), Tech Services, the Assessment Center and the Media Hub right from the Lounge.
The Lounge is open whenever classes are in session. Contact us to reserve the space for club meetings, workshops or film viewings with your official campus organizations.
Student Accessibility and Accommodations
Accommodations are arranged through self-referral and documentation of disabilities. We provide reasonable adjustments to ensure fair and equitable access to education for all students.
The Assessment Center
The Assessment Center in RC 114 provides a quiet environment for students to take assessments. Students use the Assessment Center for official accommodations, makeup assessments arranged with instructors, or when they cannot complete assessments during regular class time.
Multilingual Learning Support
We offer language-related support to help students develop their ability to navigate between English and other languages that they or others in their home environment may speak as they work to manage assignments, class experiences and the living environment at Alverno.
Tutoring
Our tutoring support includes peer and professional tutoring. Our peer tutors are highly successful students who can assist their peers with a wide variety of academic challenges, providing support in a relaxed and social setting. Our professional tutors specialize in math, writing, test preparation, communication, planning/organization and multilingual learning.
