The Student Learning Center, located on the third floor of the LRC, is an important resource for students. The center includes the Tutoring Center (LRC 301), the Basic Skills Lab (LRC 302), and an open access student computer lab (LRC 303). Free tutoring is available for a variety of subjects including college mathematics, writing, speech and the various sciences as well as developmental coursework. Appointments are preferred (call 432.335.6878) but walk-ins will be served as soon as possible.
Both the Basic Skills Lab and the open-access computer lab have Internet access, Microsoft Office XP, and limited copies of WordPerfect for student use. The Basic Skills Lab has software resources to assist OC students in improving their reading, writing and mathematical skills. The basic skills specialist (432.335.6714) is available to work with students on a variety of issues including test anxiety, math anxiety, time management, critical thinking skills development, SQ3R, test-taking skills, and other academic skills. The skills specialist also offers THEA workshops and special assistance for students preparing for the THEA or COMPASS test. Computer lab assistants are also available to register students for e-mail accounts and to assist students with computer and Internet problems.
