- Classroom Learning Assistants (CLAs), who are peer tutors nominated by faculty to provide academic support to students in disciplines across the curriculum;
- Workshops on college-level study skills such as note-taking, time management, test-taking, critical reading and writing, oral presentations, and math concepts and problem solving; and
- Online Writing Lab (OWL) for online feedback with written assignments.
