Lon Morris College takes pride in its rich traditions and diverse atmosphere. For more than a hundred years, people have come from all over the world to attend college in the small east Texas town of Jacksonville. It doesn't matter how each person arrives or where they come from; the comments are the same when they leave. They all say it was the best two years of their lives.
     The quaint charm of a small town or the personal attention given to each student are just two of the reasons Lon Morris is a great place to begin your college career. Small teacher/student ratio allows instructors to give more individual instruction. It doesn't take long for students to realize that Lon Morris College strives for success. The focus that drives decision making is academic excellence, personal achievement, and learning enrichment.
     Lon Morris gives every student the opportunity to learn and excel, including those with learning differences. Students with a documented learning difference may require reasonable accommodations to be successful. Frequently, these students are frustrated by a learning disability and are academically unsuccessful. However, an intelligent, motivated student who is diagnosed with a specific learning difference can, with proper guidance and assistance, succeed academically in spite of his or her disability.
     The Cole Learning Center at Lon Morris serves all students. The Center is committed to student success and we are proud of our program. Cole Learning Center has many success stories. Students who were turned down by other colleges or universities come to Lon Morris, graduate, and move on to four year colleges. Many of our students maintain a high grade point average throughout their time at Lon Morris. Last Spring, one of our students graduated with a 4.0 GPA.

Cole Learning Center refines study skills through tutoring programs, learning labs, group reviews, and specialized computer resources. One-on-one career assessments and counseling sessions help prepare students for life after Lon Morris. The Center provides assistance in each student's area of need. Networked, state-of-the-art computers with internet access, word processing software, developmental basic skills ecucational software, and specialized adaptive technology are provided to help students with almost any academic need. However, students with a documented learning difference can take advantage of special accommodations such as:

Extended Time on Tests or Essays     Note Takers
Different Test Formats                       Test Reader or Scribe
Tape Recorders for Class                   Quite Testing Facility
Lab Work Assistance                          Special Seating
Taped Textbooks                               Summer Prep Program
    
     After a brief intake form is completed and the student furnishes all proper educational or psychological evaluations, the director makes a decision about in-class accommodations.
     As we learn and grow, our goal is to provide more services to an ever increasing number of students. Come see what we have to offer. We are convinced you will be impressed.
