Learning Commons

The Learning Commons is a cooperative learning space that encourages academic proficiency through resource exploration, skill development, and social connectedness. With locations on all Aims campuses, the Learning Commons' mission is to provide a comfortable learning space where students, faculty, staff, and the greater community can engage with the information experts, technology and resources they need to succeed.

You can find several important services within the Learning Commons, including:

Library services
Tutoring
Online support
Computer assistance
Study rooms
Study sessions

The Aims Testing Center also provides academic testing by appointment only in the Learning Commons spaces of the Fort Lupton, Loveland, and Windsor campuses. Visit the Learning Commons Locations pages to learn what services are available at each Aims Campus.

Library Services

With locations in Learning Commons spaces on all four campuses, Aims Library Services provides access to reference materials, resources, and research and citation assistance to Aims students, faculty and staff. The Kiefer Library location on the Greeley campus provides full service, while the satellite campus locations provide limited services. Learn more at the Library Services page.
