The Learning
Resource Center staff provides tutoring services to ALL enrolled students
at ALL academic levels at Lincoln University. The Learning Resource
Center consists of the Reading, Writing and Math Laboratories. The
lab staff is committed to providing all students with tutoring services
to improve their college performance. Tutoring may also serve as a
refresher for students entering the educational system after a long
absence. Labs are available for individual help with study skills,
writing papers, reading, math, and special projects. The aim of the
laboratories is to provide students with learning experiences that
will enhance their chances to excel academically and earn a GPA of
3.0 or higher, which make academic scholarships a reality. Students
should continue to use the Reading, Writing and Math/Science Labs
to prepare for advanced skills needed in graduate/professional schools
and management positions.

professional tutors in the Reading Lab provide individual assistance
to each student. Required labs are assigned to students by the Education

mastery of the content in these areas and development of efficient and

works reading, and vocabulary practice.
