Academic Support

Learning Support Division

The Learning Support Division contains a selected schedule of college level course work as well as other specially designed courses that provide intensive study and individual guidance at a pace compatible with the student’s ability.  Tutorial assistance is provided.

The Learning Support Program serves students who need to improve their academic skills before embarking on a full-time schedule of college level courses. Students admitted to Andrew College on a conditional basis will be required to take a placement test at the beginning of their first semester. The placement index results will determine the placement of students in either Learning Support courses and/or college level courses. Students who test into Learning Support courses must be enrolled in required courses until all subject areas have been satisfied. The placement index is available on the Andrew College website.
