Project Mentor is an academic support unit of the Learning Center that offers enhanced services to students with a diagnosed learning disability, attention deficit disorder, or traumatic brain injury. This is a comprehensive program that focuses on the development of strategies and skills to build upon strengths and circumvent deficits. Students voluntarily access the services provided through Project Mentor. They receive individualized assistance with learning effective strategies for organizing and studying course-related materials and assignments. Accommodations such as taped textbooks and extended test time are also available based on each student’s particular needs and specific disability.

The Project Mentor staff who provide direct services include a Director, an Assistant Director, and Academic Mentors (graduate students). Each student is assigned to work with one of the Academic Mentors on a regular weekly basis (usually 3 to 4 times per week). This work may involve any of the following: writing skills, reading strategies, note-taking skills, test-taking strategies, organization/time management skills, self-advocacy skills, social skills, career-related issues, and referrals to other campus resources. These services are offered in addition to the accommodations required by law.

Fees for Project Mentor are based on the number of hours each week the student meets with his/her Academic Mentor. Fees for each semester are listed below:
