Student Learning Services

Our Mission

Student Learning Services creates integral learning experiences to develop self-directed learners.

No matter what program or year you're in, whether your goal is to pass the course or get an A, we're here to help you reach your academic goals. Our Blackfoot name, itaisspomihtaopi, means "a place for help," and that is exactly what we strive to be.

Self-Directed Learner Award

SLS would like to recognize students who go "above and beyond" to develop their lifelong learning skills!

Self-directed learners take time to think about how they're learning and take steps to improve - important academic and professional skills.

Did you participate in the following this year?

six or more SLS Academic Success Workshops and
four or more 1-1 SLS appointments

Then you are eligible for Step 3: Complete the Self-Directed Learner Reflection Form!

This self-reflection about your learning and writing practices this past year will take about 20 minutes to complete.

Students who complete this form will earn an SLS Letter of Recognition! This letter will make a great addition to your professional portfolio and résumé - you're demonstrating how you've been showing initiative, making time to develop skills, and taking action to achieve your potential.
