The Writing Lab offers instructional and computer support for English courses and for writing projects in any content area. English support includes literary analysis, essay writing, and computerized study of vocabulary. Based on entry-level assessment results, students are scheduled for ASC 087 College Writing Prep, a developmental writing course, and ASC 088 Composition Lab, a companion writing lab for students enrolled in ENGL 105 and ENGL 110. Students are placed in these classes through a math assessment or may be referred by a classroom instructor or advisor. The Reading Lab offers courses which help students increase reading efficiency through improved comprehension and rate.
Emphasis is placed on individualized assignments.
Based on assessment results, students are placed in the reading courses that will best meet their needs. Courses are also open to students on a volunteer basis. The Office of Disability Support Services addresses individual needs of students who have disabilities. Disabilities include physically disabled, hearing or visually impaired, speech or language impaired, learning disabled or other health impairments. It is recommended that students with disabilities visit the College prior to enrolling and contact the Office of Admission to schedule appointments with the DSS Office and other departments.
