Academic Regulations and Services to Elmhurst College students. The philosophy of the center is “learning how to learn.” Activities are designed to help each student succeed as an independent learner. Students can receive one-on-one tutoring in mathematics, reading, writing and study skills areas. Workshops are offered on demand. Additionally, assistance is provided for those seeking admission to graduate and professional schools and for students preparing resumés, cover letters and personal statements. The Learning Center has resources in print, video cassette, audio cassette and computer software. Students planning to enter graduate school have found the GRE preparation software to be especially helpful. In addition to the director of the Learning Center, there are two specialists available to assist students. The mathematics specialist provides assistance in all areas of mathematics—basic math to differential equations and statistics. The College reading specialist assists students in improving reading, vocabulary and study skills and works with students in test taking skills and reading/writing assignments from all disciplines. The Elmhurst College Learning Center is open to all undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at the College. All services are free of charge.
