    Services & Programs
    The Office of Learning Resources provides professional consultation services in university relevant skills such as academic reading, writing, study strategies, and time management to the Penn community. This academic support is provided through a varied menu of services and programs:

    Individual instruction is the backbone of the program. Students can make appointments for one-on-one consultations with a Learning Instructor to address concerns and build upon already strong study strategies. Call 57-EXCEL (573-9235) for an appointment.

    Walk-in hours are available during the academic year, Monday through Friday from noon to 3:00PM in

    Interactive workshops provide group learning opportunities throughout the academic year. Several workshop series have been designed for specific groups of students. In addition, individual workshops can be requested for particular courses, college houses, student organizations, or other University groups. Fill out our Workshop Request Form.

    Collaborative University Programs constitute a growing service offered by Learning Resources. Within these programs, Learning Resources collaborates with various student services, academic departments, and campus organizations to provide academic workshops and seminars for diverse learners. Our current collaborations include: Training Programs, The Penn Mentoring Program (PMP), and Navigating the Dissertation.
