Altshuler LEC: WHEN/WHERE/CONTACT


When is the LEC open?

During the fall and spring terms the L.E.C. facility is open from 5 to 10 PM on Sundays, from 8:30 AM to 10 PM Mondays through Thursdays, and from 8:30 AM to 5 PM on Fridays. With one exception: late at night we may close early if all students waiting for tutoring have been seen. (So, come before 9:15!)


So, are tutors always available when you are open?

No. Most tutoring takes place during afternoon and evening hours. Check the tutor schedule for the specific times that tutors are available for each course.


Can I use the LEC as a quiet place to study?

Absolutely! Feel free to use it whenever we're open.

Weekday evenings, especially during the fall, our traffic level may be too great to give you the peace and quiet you need. Mornings are great! Afternoons usually fall somewhere in between.


How do I call or email the LEC?

Our main telephone number is 214.768.3648. We like our telephone number acronym: 214.SMU DO IT! Additionally, each staff member has a phone number and email address listed here.


Can I call or email to reserve a tutor?

No. You'll need to actually come down to our location.


Where is the LEC located?

We're in the Loyd Center, a squarish building attached to the NW corner of Ford Stadium.


Is there a trick to finding it?

Yes. Don't go in the big glass doors at the corner of the building. Instead, walk south towards Mockingbird about 100 feet along the side of the building; go in a smaller door labelled "Altshuler Learning Enhancement Center." After that, it's all obvious.


Could you give me a little more detail on how to get there?

Yes.
