Registering for the ESL Lab (If You Haven’t Yet)
You can register for one of our ESL Lab sections on your Self-Service account. We currently offer four types of ESL Lab sections:
- ESL 508: This is a free, non-credit ESL Lab section open to all SJCC students. You don’t have to be taking an ESL class to register for this lab; you just need to be taking at least one SJCC course in the current semester.
- ESL 322L: This is a 0.5 unit credit lab that is required for students taking our ESL 322 class.
- ESL 522L: This is the non-credit version of our ESL 322L lab section, and it is a required lab for students taking our ESL 522 class.
- ESL 312L: This is a 0.5 unit credit lab that is required for students taking our ESL 312 class.
If you need help registering for a lab section, please contact us.
Making Appointments and/or Attending Sessions
To make appointments with lab tutors and instructors. please visit this semester’s ESL Lab Conference Canvas shell. If you cannot see this shell on your Canvas dashboard, you probably still need to register for an ESL Lab section.
You can choose to see instructors in person or on Zoom. For in-person sessions, you can just drop in on a 1st come, 1st served basis. However, if you don’t make an appointment, there is no guarantee that the tutor or instructor will have enough time to help you.
Reminder: If you are not yet registered for our ESL Lab, you will need to do so before you can have access to our Canvas shell and our services.
Attending Workshops
Workshops will be delivered either on Zoom or in person at the ESL Lab, located in room L-120 on the first floor of the library building, unless otherwise noted by the workshop title and information.
- In-person workshops: To attend our in-person workshops, simply come to the ESL Lab in room L-120 (first floor of the Library Building) 10 minutes before the workshop starting time. Make sure to log in and out on the computer by the L-120 room entrance.
- Zoom workshops: To attend our Zoom workshops, please sign up using the link on the homepage of your ESL Lab Conference Canvas shell. Then click on the Zoom link you will receive in your email once you sign up for the workshop.
