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.
