Learning Assistance
Cornerstone University offers Disability Accommodations to qualified students. For more information contact the Learning Center on the main campus. Online resources and tutorials are also available for any student who needs assistance with math, writing, and biblical studies.
Whether enrolled in an accelerated on-ground, online or blended program, students should expect a fast-paced program in which they will spend several hours per week reading materials, completing assignments and preparing for tests.
Students with learning disabilities often find difficulty in completing the weekly reading assignments and written projects. Weekly class participation is required, meaning assigned readings and other work must be completed prior to coming to class; therefore falling behind in reading will negatively affect students' test grades as well as their ability to actively participate in group discussions based on textbook and outside reading assignments.
