 All you need to check out an item from TLC is a valid ID…it could be your student ID, driver’s license, or passport. Just come to the front desk of TLC and tell us what you would like to use and we will exchange the item for your ID. When you return the item, we will return your ID. Simple as that!

If it is within our normal hours of operation, then start by first making an appointment by calling 636-584-6688, self-book HERE, or emailing us at general_tutoring@eastcentral.edu and indicating you want online tutoring, then subject and time. Same-day appointments are on a limited basis.  Click HERE to watch a short presentation.

If it is after hours or on the weekend, then visit NetTutor by logging into Canvas with your ECC username and password and clicking on the NetTutor option and follow the instructions given.

Log in to Canvas with your ECC username and password, then click on the “Online Writing Center” card. Then just follow the instructions shown on the page.

The first time we will let it slide but if it happens two or three times, then you will no longer be able to make appointments for the semester. Walk-in sessions will still be available if a tutor is open at that particular time or you might be asked to come back, if possible.

Just come to The Learning Center front desk and we will direct you to all the handouts we have available. You can also visit our Learning Resources webpage for more handouts, videos, and workshops.

Unfortunately, we ask just a bit more than walking back and sitting down. These rooms may be reserved in two-hour blocks by calling 636-584-6688 or stopping by The Learning Center front desk. If you need a study room, but don’t have one reserved, stop by the Learning Center to check availability. We can normally accommodate last-minute requests. Our group study rooms contain whiteboards, eBeam boards, and projectors connected to computers.

Logging in and out each time you enter The Learning Center is important for many reasons. First, it allows us to keep track of our busy times so we can hire the appropriate number of tutors. Second, it gives the students a way to communicate to staff any concerns they may have with the center. Third, it helps us justify the need for more services such as computers, space, and staff.

Yes. Just stop at the desk and tell us your name.

Unfortunately No. We have students who frequent TLC for a space to study and learn with as few distractions as possible. The college manages its campus primarily for adults and is not held responsible for supervising children. Furthermore, students and faculty expect to be able to conduct their activities in an academic environment.

The Learning Center houses an Adaptive Lab that is staffed during most of our operating hours. The Adaptive Lab contains equipment designed to help students with a variety of disabilities. Students who want to use the Adaptive Lab should contact ACCESS Services or email denise.walker@eastcentral.edu

Stop by The Learning Center to speak with Erin Anglin.

No, any community patron can use The Learning Center. Just come to the front desk and ask for a guest username and password to use one of our computers.
