This program offers tutoring geared to specific courses as well as general assistance in study skills and time management. Students with documented learning disabilities may receive special assistance. In accordance with the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act, Franciscan University endeavors to offer reasonable accommodations to students who have learning disabilities. However, since a degree in a particular academic area connotes the possession of certain intellectual skills, the University does not waive course requirements for individual students. Students with learning disabilities are responsible for notifying the University.
Testing is also available through the coordinator's office.
