Regional Academic Resources and Community Engagement Centers

Regional Academic Resources and Community Engagement Centers are a key part of STOU’s ability to maintain contact with students. They ensure that though STOU instruction is self-guided, students are not left without vital personal contact while pursuing their chosen study programs. There are a total of 11 STOU Regional Academic Resources and Community Engagement Centers located throughout the country. These centers, which are owned, operated and staffed by STOU, operate under the Regional Academic Resources and Community Engagement Administrative Section in Nonthaburi main campus. They serve as students’ main access point for face-to-face educational interaction and services that are customary at conventional universities. Centers contain libraries that include broad book collections, archived broadcasts and course materials, other audiovisual materials, internet access and computer resources. The conference rooms at the centers also function as gathering points for face-to-face instruction or student collaboration.
