I don't know what kind of college you were at, but it may have an organization with a euphemistic name that suggests it is not engaged in teaching remedial skills which teaches remedial skills. Ours was the Academic Resource Center, I think. I don't know if we had anyone who specialized in teaching hand writing, largely because I don't think hand writing was a deliverable anywhere in school, but we certainly taught study habits, time management, and the math students should have learned in high school.

The reason I said hand writing is important is that it helps with situations such as:

- 4 page long differential equations

- 4 page long physics problems

- physics lab (note book)

- taking readable notes quickly

My guess is that hand writing is a lot more important to ones ability to work effectively than most people realize. I could be wrong.
