Louisburg College is committed to offering an individualized approach to higher education. By recognizing that every student comes to college with different learning needs and experiences, we have established a wide range of free and fee based services to meet each student’s individual needs. From extensive instructor access, to division-run tutoring labs, students at Louisburg College do not have to look far to find academic support. In addition, Learning Services offers two comprehensive academic coaching programs and coordinates accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Whether students are looking for occasional assistance with homework, or desire a more comprehensive approach to building academic skills as they transition into college, they will find that help at Louisburg College where opportunities abound.

Extensive Instructor Access
Our small student-to-professor ratio, our “out of the classroom” access to instructors, and our supportive academic atmosphere ensure personal attention and encourage success in each individual student. Academic assistance is always easy to find at Louisburg, whether the student needs help with Math, Science or Humanities. Our faculty ideals are student-centered and teaching focused.

The Math Lab and Writing Center
Academic assistance is also readily available in The Math Lab and The Writing Center, which are staffed by faculty members. Students may drop in to ask a homework question, complete an assignment in a supervised “study-hall” environment, or get feedback, assistance and additional instruction with specific Math, English, research and writing assignments. These, and additional peer tutoring services, are provided at no additional cost to the student. The Writing Center and Math Lab are open daily during the Academic year and are both conveniently located in our main classroom building. In addition, each student has access to a number of different computer labs and stations that are available in a variety of locations across campus.

The Office of Learning Support and Disability Services (OLSDS)
Louisburg College is also committed to providing each student, regardless of ability, with an equal opportunity for success. All students with a documented disability, whether it’s a physical, mental, psychological or learning disability, are guaranteed equal access to all programs and will be provided reasonable accommodations and services at no cost to the student. OLSDS is open year round to answer questions and make sure adequate accommodations are provided to all students.

The Learning Partners Program and The Academy

Along with this list of free academic and disability support services, Louisburg College also offers two fee-based academic support programs. Both of these unique programs provide the student with additional private academic coaching and instruction with a trained learning specialist. The Learning Partners program is available to students with documented learning disabilities and/or attention disorders. Students who qualify are partnered with a primary learning specialist who meets with them privately at least twice a week during the academic year. The focus of Learning Partners is building learning strategies and self-advocacy skills appropriate to the college environment.

Similarly, The Academy is designed to assist any student who would like additional assistance in the transition to the academic demands of college. The primary focus of The Academy is content remediation and concept mastery. Each Academy student is also partnered with a trained learning specialist for a minimum of two private one-on-one sessions per week during each semester. Both programs help students set and realize goals, develop discipline, gain understanding of their own learning strengths and abilities, become more comfortable advocating for themselves, and help the student achieve greater learning skills and independence. This is accomplished through coaching, testing, counseling, and personalized instruction.
