What is CAPS?

CAPS is a free-of-charge educational assistance program available to UNM students enrolled in undergraduate classes. The tutors at CAPS are UNM upper-division undergraduates and graduate students. The CAPS tutor-training program is certified by the College Reading and Learning Association. CAPS provides tutoring for many undergraduate courses numbered 100-399.

Where is CAPS?

The CAPS main office is located on the Third Floor of Zimmerman Library at the top of the stairs. Individual tutoring and drop-in tutoring labs are held at CAPS on the Third Floor of Zimmerman Library. Tutoring is also provided in the Student Union Building (SUB), Centennial Library (CSEL), Humanities Building (HUM), and Mesa Vista Hall (MVH).

How do I use CAPS?

To receive services at CAPS, a student must register with a CAPS receptionist. A valid UNM LOBO ID is required. Students may make appointments with a tutor up to a week in advance.
