Get to know the LAP Process!

To use the Learning Assistance Program (LAP), start by requesting a course-specific tutor or learning strategist through the LAP online request form. If you are a student who hasn’t used LAP before, you will complete a free orientation. Next, you will attend a free tutor/learning strategist introduction meeting to share your goals and strengths and determine when and where the sessions will occur. Weekly sessions then start, which are paid sessions at $50 per hour. The LAP will issue one consolidated invoice via email at the end of the semester. Payment options are available online, in person, or by mail.
