Adult Education Learning Center (AELC)

WHAT IS THE AELC?

The AELC is a computer lab dedicated to helping students from English as a Second Language (ESL), GED preparation, Basic Skills (ABE), Intensive English (IEI) and Literacy programs. AELC instructors help students learn more about their subject area by using computer programs and academic websites. They also work individually with students to explain skills and concepts that are confusing, and help students who are new to computers gain the skills they need to use the computer programs effectively.

WHERE IS THE AELC?

The AELC is located in room 312 at the Aurora Campus. You can get more information on the Center by calling (630) 801-7900, ext. 4118.

WHO CAN ATTEND THE AELC?

Any student from ESL, ABE, GED or IEI programs can attend the Center. In addition, if you are waiting for a class opening, you may start in the Center and develop the skills you will need in the classroom.

HOW DO I REGISTER FOR THE AELC?

Simply come into the Center in room 312 at the Aurora Campus and the instructors will register you. You may attend any hours that the Center is open, for as long as you like. The Center is a drop-in program, and is designed to offer you additional help when you need it.

WHEN CAN I ATTEND THE CENTER?

The Center is open Monday through Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. during the day, and from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the evenings. It is also open from 9:00 a.m. to Noon on Fridays and Saturdays. The Center operates on a similar schedule to other Adult Education classes.
