About LSSP

The Learning and Support Services Program, created in 1981, is designed to assist college students with learning disabilities in their pursuit of a college education. It is a supportive program for students enrolled in regular college courses. Emphasis is placed on planning, tutoring, counseling and modified test taking accommodations.

Admission to Roosevelt University is a separate process facilitated by the Office of Admission. The LSSP does not admit students to the university. All students must apply and be admitted through the standard admission process. An additional fee is charged for the LSSP program.
