LIBI is a student-centered institution. We are committed to the success of every student and provide a range of services to help students overcome academic and personal obstacles and to encourage individual personal development as well as a sense of community among students, faculty, and staff.
Student services, financial aid, and academic advisors are available to assist students with academic decision-making, scheduling changes, personal advice, and strategies to meet tuition and other expense obligations. Scheduling is flexible and designed to accommodate students who must shift sessions due to job schedules, babysitting changes, and other external circumstances. Most programs are offered in convenient day and evening sessions.
Faculty members and academic advisors provide referrals for tutoring and make-up examinations and help students plan their program of study. Student services advisors and other administrators provide assistance with community and social services and with problems that may create attendance-related problems. At the Flushing Campus, advising is available in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, and Spanish.
Financial aid specialists help students prepare budgets and payment plans and apply for a variety of forms of financial aid, including grants and loans. They are dedicated to making the financial burden of higher education as smooth and stress-free as possible.
