Individual and small group instruction is available at Basic Education Learning Centers on the Rhinelander and Lakeland Campuses, and at outreach locations throughout the Nicolet district. Classes are offered weekdays and some evenings.
Basic Education instruction assists in preparing students for college programs, helps build basic skills, and provides support for students in Nicolet programs. Adults may enroll in individualized courses any time prior to three weeks before the end of each semester, provided space is available. Students are not charged tuition for most basic education courses, although certain courses require material and textbook fees. More information about Basic Education is available in Chapter 7 of the Nicolet College catalog.
The main office of the Basic Education program is located on the third floor of the Learning Resources Center on the Rhinelander campus. The Basic Education Department can be contacted by phone at 715.365.4455, 800.544.30309 (ext 4455) or by email at slfish@nicoletcollege.edu.

SkillsTutor is an instructional software program designed to improve student achievement. More than 1000 activities and lessons help students focus on the core skills commonly found on standardized tests. Topics include reading, writing, language, mathematics, information skills, algebra, and science.
