Important SEEK Learning Center Information & Requirements:

SEEK students of all class standings are welcomed and encouraged to use the Center’s services. All SEEK students may choose to attend SLC workshops (in-person and online), get help with assignments, and study in the Center. As CSI students, SEEK students can use other tutoring labs on campus: however, the SEEK Learning Center should be their first point of contact. The Learning Center also makes referrals to other labs when appropriate. The below bullets outline the SEEK Learning Center requirements: (Proof of attendance must be submitted.)

• All First-year Freshmen and Students enrolled in courses with additional academic support :First-year freshmen, and students in courses with academic support components are required to attend tutoring for at least one hour each week. The first year of college can be very challenging. This requirement is to ensure that freshmen achieve academic success.

• Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors: Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to bring their papers and Math/Science questions. These students should visit the SEEK Learning Center so they can reach their full academic potential. In addition, if a professor recommends that a student should attend tutoring, we strongly encourage contacting the Center to make an appointment.
