Services provided include academic assessment and placement, advising, and accelerated summer programs. The department is decentralized and integrated throughout the academic and student affairs units. Students are encouraged to seek additional information regarding Learning Support from the office of Academic Enrichment, CCEN 215, 423.585.6914.
The instructional components of the program are decentralized and function as an integral part of the college's academic program.
