About the University Learning Center

University Learning Center Mission:

The University Learning Center is committed to being a vital part of UNCW students' education. Our academic support services are based on the principle that quality learning takes place when peers work collaboratively to develop knowledge and build skills. The University Learning Center provides students a learning environment and experience that differs from the classroom; we focus on high-quality individual, small-group and large-group student-centered and student-lead learning.

Our services support students as they develop independent learning strategies, personal responsibility, intellectual maturity, transferable skills, and a respect for diverse learning experiences. Additionally, we provide our student tutors with a valuable pre-professional experience.

Just the Facts:

Since 2005, when the University Learning Center was first established by combining various academic support services from across campus, we have seen our services grow. More and more UNCW students realize the benefits of peer tutoring and are taking advantage of our services. This year, we provided academic support for more than 30% of UNCW's students and, on average, each of those students utilized ULC services more than five times.
