The Student Learning Centre

The Student Learning Centre (SLC) provides professional development for University of Auckland students. The Centre facilitates the acquisition of effective academic learning and performance skills in students, and helps those who encounter difficulties in their studies. Academic tutors teach process skills that are crucial to academic success. The Centre's programmes cater for the learning needs of all students from first year undergraduates to postgraduates and doctoral candidates on the City, Epsom, Tamaki, Tai Tokerau and Grafton campuses.

The SLC offers instruction and support in a wide-range of areas to students enrolled at the University of Auckland. These are delivered through workshops, and individual consultations provided by academically qualified and experienced tutors.

There are also a number of specific programmes within the Centre including Te Puni Wananga (for Māori students support), Fale Pasifika (for Pacific Islands students support), Academic English Conversation Groups, Mathematics and Statistics, and Computer Skills Development. In co-operation with Disabilities Services, the SLC also provides assessment and support to students who have specific learning disabilities (e.g., in reading, spelling, writing and mathematics).

In order to utilise SLC services, it is necessary to register with the Centre for the current calendar year.
