CRLA Certified

CRLA pin In June 2003, South Texas College’s Centers for Learning Excellence (formerly the Student Success Centers) became sanctioned by the College Reading and Learning Association (an international organization of learning assistance professionals comprised of more than 700 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada) to issue CRLA certification to our STC Tutors.
