Student Supports

Students at Computer The WEC program is committed to ensuring the retention and long-term success of its participants. It is designed for adult learners who would normally not be successful in a university program due to financial, academic, and/or social barriers. Examples of such barriers include low family income, single parent responsibilities, ethnicity, and lack of prerequisite academic qualifications. To that end, a number of supports and services are in place.

These include:

Academic Advising
Education Library Resources
Free Tutoring Services
Financial Assistance
Student Mail Boxes
Student Lounge
Photocopying & Fax Services
Free Math and Science preparatory classes
