STUDY SKILLS
Effective study skills are important tools for college success, and the Learning Commons at Cayuga offers several resources to help all students develop them. We are now offering study skills workshops offered throughout the year on the Auburn campus, Fulton campus, and online. Please join us to learn important study tips and strategies from our academic support staff. Snacks are provided at all campus events, and study tools such as notebooks and highlighters will also be available while supplies last!
