Academic Accommodations Center (DSPS)

As an instructor with a learning disability, I welcome you to speak with me about any concerns you may have about accommodations. Students with disabilities – whether physical, learning, or psychological – are encouraged to contact the Disabled Student Program and Services (DSPS) as soon as possible to ensure that their accommodations can be met in a timely fashion.

Center for Academic Success (CAS)

I work very closely with our CAS coordinators and tutors to ensure that you understand college writing to the best of your abilities.

If you ever need assistance to make sense of my comments or some of my lessons (because I know sometimes that I may not present work in a way you understand), please do not hesitate to reach out to a tutor.

Additionally, Pierce is equipped to administer and provide distance tutoring via Zoom, paper drop-off options, and more.

Student Health Center

Taking any college course can be stressful, especially if you are feeling unwell.

Your health is important to me, and I want you to take care of yourself. The best way to do so is to visit our Health and Wellness Center. They offer both mental and physical healthcare options to ensure you're the healthiest you possible. The best part is that it is included with your tuition here.

Also, never hesitate to contact me if you are feeling unwell. You can always reach me me by writing: EMERGENCY! in any message subject line, both on Canvas and to my email: granilaj@piercecollege.edu 

Remote/Online Services

Technology can be confusing sometimes. While I am generally a good source of information, sometimes I do not have all of the answers you need to solve your Canvas tech issues.

If you find yourself frustrated trying to navigate Canvas, please review these tips, call the hotline, and when in doubt, message me after you've exhausted these options.
