What services and programs does TL offer?
To promote our mission, values, and purpose, TL has three programmatic pillars to serve students, faculty, and staff across campus. Within these pillars, TL also has programmatic support in the form of assessment, marketing, and campus outreach.
The three programmatic pills work interdependently to meet the needs of UK students and serve to create and establish a cycle of student success. Specifically, TL programs create opportunities for students to gain invaluable study skills and strategies for success through TL-sponsored collaborations, which lays the foundation for content-specific knowledge acquisition in coursework that is continually reinforced and supported by Peer Supported Learning services (The Study Peer Tutoring Program, Supplemental Instruction, and Presentation U: Speaking & Writing Center), Integrated Success Coaching, UK101/201 and APP programs.

How can I encourage my students to use TL services?
A personal referral goes a long way for students and is one of the main ways students find their way to Trasnformative Learning! If you know a student who you feel would benefit from TL programs or services consider doing the following:
- Complete an ISC referral. Getting a student connected with a coach is one of the easiest and best ways to introduce a student to TL! When you submit a referral, a member of our coaching team will reach out directly to that student and work with them to make a one-on-one appointment.
- Request an Overview of TL services for your class or group by emailing us at transformativelearning@uky.edu. We can work with you to send one of our trained staff or have your class visit one of our locations. You can also download the PP and share with your students.
- Send an email with a personal recommendation and link to our website. You can find a sample email in TL's Promotional Tool Kit.
