We want to discuss students' learning challenges and goals in your courses and how we might collaborate to reduce barriers to their success. We have a variety of in-class and outside-of-class learning support options available.   Please Dr. James Barnes, Learning Commons Director at jwgbarnes@csustan.edu to arrange a meeting with the Learning Commons team.  

How to request learning support

  1. Complete a Tutor Request Form
