Tier 2 students are typically students with a diagnosed learning or physical disability that may impact learning who have previously been in a Tier 3 class but are ready to embrace independence in their learning. They may still use accommodations managed and administered through the learning center.  Additional candidates for Tier 2 may be students with a documented learning difference that requires classroom or testing accommodations but does not require instruction in their deficit area.

Tier 2 students are regularly observed in their classes, and learning center staff check in with them regularly. The Director of the Learning Center for Academic Support reviews documentation for placement consideration. There is an additional fee for Tier 2.

Tier 3 students are students with a diagnosed learning or physical disability that may impact learning who receive hands-on instruction, including research-based interventions in the student’s area(s) of deficit. The goal is for them to use accommodations and direct instruction to develop independence in their learning. Tier 3 students meet with a learning specialist as part of their daily schedule to receive direct instruction.

The learning center staff works with the student's support team to create school-appropriate classroom and testing accommodations. The program offers structure, attention, test preparation, daily review, resources to acquire audiobooks, appropriate testing spaces, academic monitoring, organizational instruction, and direct intervention for learning differences. The Director of the Learning Center for Academic Support reviews documentation for placement consideration. There is an additional fee for Tier 3.
