Learning Resources & Accommodation Services

Learning Resources provides learning success advising and coordinates peer tutoring for ATSU residential program students who want to improve their learning and academic performance.

Accommodation Services provides necessary and reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities in all ATSU programs.

Learning Specialists provide free, one-on-one learning advisement consultations, tailored to each student’s learning preferences and challenges. Topics addressed include:

  • Evidence-based learning techniques
  • Efficient time management
  • Improving long term recall
  • Various note-taking styles
  • Test-taking strategies
  • Developing a board exam study plan

We encourage every ATSU residential program student to visit our office at least once to receive a personalized learning advisement session, and students are welcome to return as often as desired for additional support and guidance.
