Because there are so many resources available, there are many services that most students may not be aware of, and some can be quite surprising. Here are a few of the services you may or may not have known about, in order from some of the least to most surprising. This article is the first article in a campus resource series to help you navigate all of the opportunities that South Puget Sound has to offer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learning Support Services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a returning student at SPSCC, you probably know about this one. Learning Support Services (LSS) offers tutoring services that are free for all students. There are two LSS programs, East and West. Both LSS East and LSS West are in Building 22 on the Olympia campus. LSS East caters primarily to math and sciences, while LSS West focuses on English and writing. There are also E-tutoring services for both math and sciences and English and writing. The tutors are a mix of qualified students and faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>East<\/td><td>West<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Location<\/td><td>Building 22, Room 110<\/td><td>Building 22, Room 101<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Subjects<\/td><td>Math, Sciences, Computer Science, & OFTEC Tutoring<\/td><td>Writing & Language Tutoring<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hours<\/td><td>Monday through Thursday: 10:00 AM \u2013 5:00 PM<br>Friday: 11:00 AM \u2013 3:00 PM<\/td><td>Monday through Thursday: 10:00 AM \u2013 4:00 PM<br>Friday: 11:00 AM \u2013 3:00 PM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contact<\/td><td>(360) 596-5505<br>learningsupport@spscc.edu<\/td><td>(360) 596-5472<br>learningsupport@spscc.edu<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Price<\/td><td>Free!<\/td><td>Free!<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Appointment<\/td><td>No appointment<\/td><td>Appointment recommended (25 or 50 minutes)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>How to Make an Appointment<\/td><td>Just drop in and ask!<\/td><td>Drop in or schedule an appointment at the front desk or by email<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">More information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/spscc.edu\/lss\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tech Support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tech Support is pretty much available in any college campus nowadays, especially after Covid-19 made online communications so important and emphasized virtual learning. The <a href=\"https:\/\/support.spscc.edu\/for\/students?_gl=1*2coqfl*_gcl_au*MjA1MTE3MzAyMy4xNjkyMjUwMjI2\">Student Support Site<\/a> has a list of common questions and tutorials, but if you have a more complex problem, you can contact the IT Help Desk for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Location<\/td><td>Building 22, Room 181Building 25, Room 137<a href=\"https:\/\/spscc.zoom.us\/j\/99293489933\">Zoom<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hours<\/td><td>Building 22:<br>Monday through Friday: 8:00 AM \u2013 5:00 PM<br>Building 25:<br>Monday through Thursday: 8:00 AM \u2013 5:00 PM, Friday: 8:00 AM \u2013 3:00 PM<br>Zoom & Phone: Monday through Friday: 7:30 AM \u2013 5:30 PM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contact<\/td><td>(360) 596 \u2013 5544<br>helpdesk@spscc.edu<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">More information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/spscc.edu\/services-support\/tech-support\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disability & Access Services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe this one should be expected, since schools and\u00a0 colleges are legally required to provide accommodations for those who need them under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
