College of Arts and Sciences Learning Assistants Program

STEP Learning Assistants (LAs) are returning to the College of Arts and Sciences! Data suggests that students who work with LAs are more successful than those who do not.  We are looking for LAs that have successfully earned an A or B in the above courses and are interested in helping other students succeed.

To be a Learning Assistant, students should be available during the regular course times for the course they apply for. LAs should not register for the course.
