Academic support
Maybe you need to brush up on your math skills. You need a laptop for class. Or you’re the first in your family to attend college and need extra guidance.
CLC has free and low-cost academic resources to help you succeed. These include tutoring, technology, textbooks and much more.
If you are returning to school after time away, we’ll help you figure out where to start. You even might get credit for prior learning and work skills.
Also, class sizes at CLC are small with about 15 students. This means you get personal attention and feedback from instructors who care.
