The ֱ is here to support your success, while you're a student here and beyond. The following campus resources and off-site links, along with the committed faculty and staff at USM, will help you accomplish your goals.
Academic Support Services
The Keleher Learning Commons
The main goal of the Keleher Learning Commons is to aid students of all abilities
in becoming effective learners. The Commons does this by helping students improve
their performance in the critical academic areas of reading, writing, and learning
skills. In addition, the Commons strives to provide tutors to assist students in a
wide range of academic disciplines, including math and writing.
The Commons also hosts seminars on “student survival skills,” which include time management,
stress management, note-taking, and test preparation.
These small-group seminars introduce students to the wide range of abilities needed
to succeed in university life. In addition to these seminars, students are encouraged
to meet with staff to discuss any concerns in detail.
The Commons provides students with a comfortable, distraction-free environment for
studying that includes computer and internet access.
Tutoring
The OTD Program may offer tutoring to enrolled students in need of specific content mastery. This may depend somewhat on the human resources available to the program at the time that tutoring is needed.
