No. We ask that you keep all food (including gum) and drinks (including water) in your bag to protect the facilities.

Is cell phone use permitted?

Cell phones must be turned off or muted when in the Language Center.

Can I have audio materials duplicated onto cassette tape for personal use?

It depends on the copyright. Please stop by or call us about the tapes for your specific course. If permissible, you provide the tapes. There is a small duplication fee (payable by Vend Card) due at the time you place your order. Please allow three working days for tape duplication. Additional information about tape duplication is available on the Language Center Services page.

No. You are only allowed to use the tapes, CDs, and media that we provide in the Language Center.

No. Only individual work is allowed in the Language Center. If you need to work with a partner(s), there are group study rooms available in the LAS and the main Library.

Am I allowed to do work for other classes in the Language Center?

No. Because you are receiving class credit from your language instructor for the time you spend in the Language Center, you may only work on material for your language class.

Can I get a tutor for my language class in the Language Center?

Tutoring is available for most languages through the Learning Assistance Center (R-207) across the hall from the Language Center.
