Library Resources and Writing Center
Students taking classes on the RELLIS campus have access to library resources and services through their home institution. Access to the library and its resources varies from university to university. If a student desires in person, face-to-face assistance, the librarians and writing center tutors are happy to help.
Learning Resource Center
The RELLIS Academic Complex Building 2 features a resource center for student use. Amenities include partition desks, group tables, study rooms with white boards and TV monitors, printer (RELLIS Alliance students only), and more. Workshops and popup events are held monthly. And if you just need a break, we offer puzzles, board games, and brain breaks.
