Welcome to Learning Assistance Services (LAS) at the University of Rochester.
LAS is a resource available to all students in the College. All kinds of students with all kinds of GPAs and academic records make
use of LAS programs. We work with strong students who wish to become even better, as well as with students who have not yet tapped into the strategies needed to succeed in college, and everyone in between.We offer an extensive study group and Workshop program, individual study skills counseling, study skills workshops and a study skills course, and disability support.
We are located in 107 Lattimore Hall on the River Campus. To make an appointment or to learn more about LAS, stop by our offices, call us at (585) 275-9049, or send an email via the Contact Us link on the left.

Study Tip of the Week
Do you start your study sessions with the intention of sitting at your desk straight through for hours of work, only to find that your concentration breaks down after a while? Instead, try studying in chunks of time: 40-50 minutes of concentrated work followed by a 5-10 minute stand-up-and-stretch break, then another 40-50 minutes of study, and so on. We get very favorable feedback from students about this study approach--let us know how this works for you!
