About CAPS

CAPS has five programs that help student meet their academic goals and needs. Depending on the classes you are taking and your goals, one of our programs or services may be the right fit for you. We offer learning assistance in most undergraduate courses in a variety of formats: Supplemental Instruction, online tutoring, drop-in tutoring, workshops, and language conversation groups.
