Use the computer labs

Meet with a tutor


The Ethyl Center has pc's, a color scanner and a laser printer, as well as some popular peripherals such as microphones, webcams and a Wakom tablet, all of which, in addition to digital cameras, may be checked out..   There is a second, smaller lab on the fifth floor of Martin Science similarly equipped.  Both labs have specialized math and science software in addition to basic applications.  If online help and the software reference books in the labs can 't answer your questions, the Ethyl Center Director is available to assist you.


Tutors are available to meet with students in most math, physics, chemistry and biology classes.  The tutors are Randolph students who have been recommended by faculty, have successfully completed courses in the subject area in which they are tutoring and who have received training in adult learning theory. The tutoring program is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA). Tutoring is available by appointment or during scheduled walk-in hours.
