Welcome to the ESL Open Learning Centre
The ESL Open Learning Centre (ESL-OLC) offers support to English as a Second Language (ESL) students registered in credit courses at York University. The Centre is open to ALL York students, registered in degree programs, AND IS FREE OF CHARGE. Graduate and undergraduate students are welcome. We are constantly developing our programs to meet the needs of ESL students at York, so please stay tuned for updates. Please feel free to drop in to ask any questions or to browse our library during any of our open hours.
Students may request help in ANY aspect of English: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
Our services include:
A regular workshop series on topics related to the language needs of ESL students
Small group English language learning (50 min. sessions)
Independent language learning using print and multimedia materials from our library of ESL texts, audio tapes, websites, self-study guides, and CD-ROM products
Individual tutoring (50 min. sessions) on specific language needs
Weekly English movie nights with conversation after

Access
Registration and Sign-Up Procedure
To sign up for tutoring, workshops, and small group learning, or to use these facilities, you must be a registered user. To register, please click the Register with OLC link on the left.
Once you have registered, you can Log In, and use the online form to book space in the variety of learning opportunities we offer.
You can also drop into any unbooked tutorial or a small group session if space permits!
Cancellation Policy
You may cancel an enrolment for a tutorial or workshop at any time.
However, if you cancel 2 times during the semester within 2 days of the session you have enrolled for, you will not be allowed to enrol for that type of session (tutorial/workshop) for the rest of the semester.
Please note that the same rule applies to sessions you have booked and do not show up for.
Note if you do not arrive within 15 minutes of your session start time, it may be given to another student.
There is tremendous demand for this service; therefore, we have to ensure that students who frequently do not attend sessions they've signed up for do not keep other deserving students from accessing sessions they want.
