The Skyline College Learning Commons brings together the functions of the Library and The Learning Center into a unified, technology-enhanced academic support space for students.

The Learning Commons (LC) is a flexible learning environment providing academic support for students in all Skyline College courses through workshops, instructional technology, tutoring, lab-based courses, and our wide area network including:

  • Traditional book collections
  • Periodical and research databases
  • eBook and streaming video collections
  • Journal and magazine subscriptions
  • The Peninsula Library System (PLS) online catalog

The goal of the LC is to offer students opportunities to learn more quickly and effectively and with greater confidence. Accordingly, the LC provides alternative means of instruction that address students’ diverse learning preferences and styles.

The LC offers a comprehensive program of individual and small group support for all levels of English, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), reading and math, and a variety of academic subject areas.

In addition, the Learning Commons provides embedded tutoring, online tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, Peer Mentoring, academic skills workshops, a computer lab, and group and individual study spaces.
