Learning Enrichment Centers
Students who are enrolled at Laredo College (LC) have an excellent opportunity to improve their success rate in college courses by utilizing the support services offered at the Learning Enrichment Centers (LECs) - Ft. McIntosh Campus and South Campus. The Ft. McIntosh LEC, located at Memorial Hall 235, and the LC South LEC, located at the Senator Judith Zaffirini Library building Room 208, offer peer tutoring and computer programs in numerous disciplines to promote self-enrichment and overall student achievement. Computer workstations for word processing are also available to all students, and lab facilities offer on-line exam services for students enrolled in Distance Learning courses. The Learning Enrichment Centers also provide unique instructional support services for students with special needs at both Laredo College campuses. Effective Spring 2019 services will relocate to the Yeary Library.
For faculty members, the Learning Enrichment Center facilities offer diagnostic or make-up exam services. Faculty can also reserve Instructional Support Services labs at the Fort McIntosh campus for supplemental class instruction using microcomputers.
The Learning Enrichment Centers at both campuses also manage open internet computer labs. The Corral Lab, located inside Memorial Hall Room 240, features 80 computers. The lab has Internet access, as well as word processing and spreadsheet computer programs. Patrons can access personal email, surf the Internet, play computer games, chat and more; which makes this lab one of the most popular places on campus. The Corral Lab is available to students, faculty, and staff.
The Learning Enrichment Center at the McIntosh Campus has 6 study rooms available for enrolled students, and 2 study rooms at the South Campus. These rooms are available by making a reservation in the Learning Enrichment's website. Rules and policies for the use of these rooms are also posted on the Learning Enrichment's website.
