Mission
The Academic Learning
Center (ALC) is a learning assistance center providing free academic
and personal development support services through multimedia instruction,
tutoring, writing assistance, and consultation and referral. In collaboration
with college faculty and staff, the ALC strives to identify and to meet
the needs of students and to provide services that help students meet
their educational goals.
History
The Academic Learning Center welcomed the BRCC community at 8:00 a.m.
on Thursday, August 20, 1998. During the first two months of its operation,
3,329 students
visited the Center. The Center is organized to serve the needs of the
BRCC community in three major areas: multimedia-based instruction, subject
tutoring, and writing assistance. The most popular subjects for tutoring
are mathematics, English, and biology. A second learning center site
opened on September 20, 1999, in the Frazier Building on 333 Julia Street.
The new home for the center is the Magnolia Library and Performing
Arts Pavilion. The center has increased in space from approximately
1200 square feet to 7600 square feet. The learning center site in the
Frazier Building was closed in August 2005 and all services provided
there are now available in the new space.
