Science Learning Center

Our goal is for all science students to have the same opportunity for success in science courses. We are here to help you:

Study for your science courses individually or with a study group. Drop in any time!
Practice essential mathematical, graphing and laboratory skills in our modules before you need them in class.
Practice using laboratory instruments at your own pace before you use them in the lab.

During the Fall 2024 semester, we'll be in-person (NSBS 1143) with limited virtual availability

Hours: Monday-Thursday 9:00 AM-5:30 PM and Friday: 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, with occasional extended hours

Drop in any time to study and get support for 100-level science courses
If you are completing an assigned module, please schedule an appointment. If you need assistance finding an appointment time that works with your schedule, please contact us at [email protected]

Why study at the SLC?

You can work together and share ideas with other students in an informal, collaborative environment
You can use our resources: textbooks, model kits, computers, whiteboards, and more
You can get support: we can help you figure out study strategies or make sense of difficult course topics (please note that we can't directly give or check answers)

Supported Courses

Support for all introductory (100-level) science courses is available at the SLC during all open hours. We also have student consultant drop-in hours focused on specific courses: Current course-specific drop-in hours

Many science courses are also supported with SI peer-led study sessions
