Services for Students

At College of the Redwoods we believe that learning occurs not only in our classrooms, but that it also takes place in a wide variety of locations and environments.

On each CR campus there are a multitude of resources available to enhance and support classroom activity. The Learning Resource Center houses the CR Library, tutorial services, testing and assessment services, a distance learning classroom, and learning labs for math and English students. Counseling, advising, and career services are available for students who may need some assistance selecting their classes or determining their educational or vocational interests and goals. Disabled Students Programs and Services offer support and encouragement to students needing different kinds of accommodations or mobility services. The Associated Students, intercollegiate athletics, clubs and honor societies, residence halls and work-study employment all provide students with new challenges, insights, and perspectives and often require them to learn and apply new information and/or master new skills.

Off campus, internships with local businesses, employment, and community service opportunities can give expanded meaning to lecture material and to theoretical concepts discussed in classes.

Using the college’s many services and taking advantage of a wide variety of learning opportunities from the very beginning of one’s college career can greatly enhance student success. The pages that follow give an overview of the different kinds of services that are available, in hopes that CR will provide each new and returning student with an “Education that Works.”

Student Support

Below is a listing of the many student learning support services and activities that are available throughout the Redwoods Community College District. But because the District offers classes and services in five different geographic locations, it is difficult to describe to the reader where each is located or how students and the public might contact them by telephone. We have therefore consciously decided NOT to give location and telephone information about these services in the section that follows. Office hours will vary from site to site. Please call ahead to avoid disappointment or inconvenience.
