Summer Trout, Tutorial Coordinator
The West Campus Learning Assistance Lab (LAL-West) was established in 1996 to provide academic support to MCCC students taking classes at West Campus or those taking classes at Central Campus who live or work in the Pottstown area.
The LAL is a drop-in tutorial center. No appointments are necessary. Its services are free to any MCCC student. A staff of tutors is available on a regularly scheduled basis.
The primary function of the LAL is to provide students with assistance with their course work or in the computer labs.
