If the answer is yes, then we’re very glad that you found us on the Web, and Welcome back to Learning!

Well, okay, let’s begin by admitting that you’ve been learning for many years. Whether your education has been informal, such as picking up a book to figure out how to do something, talking to someone more experienced than you in a task, on-the-job learning, or even attending a lecture at church or in the community, you’ve been actively learning. You may even have been in a formal learning environment, such as other college classes over the years.

This Web site is created JUST FOR YOU. You certainly have many questions and uncertainties than we can possibly address here. Please know that there are resources at Grand Valley State University to help! You’ll find many of them among these pages and links. If your question isn’t answered, please don’t hesitate to drop an email or pick up the phone and call. Chances are someone can help!
