Located in Buckley Center 163, the Learning Commons houses the Integrated Writing Program, Math Resource Center, and the International Languages and Culture Language Lab.
The Math Resource Center offers students free tutoring in their mathematics courses. There are tutors for statistics, pre-calculus, business calculus, finite mathematics, calculus, and vector calculus. You can either book an appointment for one on one tutoring with a Co-Pilot, or stop by drop-in hours, which are held Monday-Thursday 3:00 PM-7:00 PM. The center is also a good place to meet with fellow students to work on homework assignments and projects. The Math Resource Center also offers a calculus preparation website that can assist students with their studies.
When students need help with writing assignments, they turn to the Writing Center. The program offers peer tutoring and assistance in writing across the curriculum, from nursing to fine arts to engineering. Students using the center work with a trained writing assistant in short (30-60 minute) one-on-one sessions. They can also stop by drop-in hours, which are held from 3:00 PM-7:00 PM Monday-Thursday.
The University Health and Counseling Center strives to promote the health of heart, mind, and body. Health and counseling services are offered within a single health care center. Services are available to all University of Portland students.
Accessible Education Services serves students with disabilities each semester through accommodations such as extended time on exams, housing accommodations, assistive technology, and other individually-tailored accommodations, according to student need.
The Career Education Center can begin working with students as early as their first year to help them find career or graduate school paths that will help them achieve their professional goals. Moreover, the office is available to students after they graduate--services are offered free of charge to all alumni.
Campus Ministry is at the spiritual heart of the University and is an important resource for our community. The office provides opportunities to worship, serve the Catholic community, receive spiritual counseling, and explore questions of faith, all within the Roman Catholic tradition. Together with the Holy Cross priests and pastoral residents, campus ministry preserves and carries out the University's central goal - an education of both the heart and the mind, a hallmark of the Holy Cross model of education.
Information and assistance in financial matters may be obtained by the student through the Office of Financial Aid. Students with financial needs and concerns should be directed to see a financial aid counselor.
