No matter how talented you are, sooner or later you're going to have questions. Like how to solve a pesky equation, take notes or better focus in class. The Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching helps traditional undergraduate, graduate, and adult students to make the most of their learning experiences at Capital University.

At CELT we have one goal: to help you succeed. We'll give you the services you need to shine in the classroom, in every subject and level.
 

Don’t spend another minute struggling when help is just a call away. You can pop in too. We’re on the second floor of the Blackmore Library, and you can call us at 614-236-6327.

What We Offer

Your learning style, schedule and academic needs are yours alone, and they're constantly changing. But our academic service options are flexible enough to keep pace.

Peer Tutoring

Sometimes it’s easier to relate to another student. We have trained Peer Tutors who were top students in the courses they tutor. They can help you:

• Get a stronger grasp of subject-area concepts
• Review materials
• Prepare for exams
• Improve your writing

Study Strategies Consultations

College requires different skills than high school. You have to be a better time-manager, study more effectively and think in new ways.

Our Academic Services Coordinator offers consultations to help with:

• Time management
• Note taking
• Textbook reading and comprehension
• Exam preparation and test-taking
• Test anxiety

Study and Review Sessions

You’ve got a lot going on. It’s hard enough to schedule all your activities, so we offer drop-in study and review sessions every week for selected courses. You'll get help from CELT’s Peer Facilitator and classmates in a relaxed group setting. You can come on the spur of the moment and as often as you need.

Supplemental Instruction

Somewhere along the line, you'll take a course that even the best students find challenging. With CELT's Supplemental Instruction program, you’ll have a better shot at success.

If a trained SI Leader is assigned to your class, they will actually attend classes and take notes just like you do. Afterward, they’ll hold a group session to:

• Review the exact material covered in class
• Help you prepare for exams
• Teach you effective learning techniques

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

To support other academic needs, the Office of Disability Services in the Center for Health and Wellness creates productive learning environments for students with disabilities.  CELT supports this effort by providing

• Special accommodations for testing (extended time, quiet space)
• Adaptive software
• Adaptive hardware

Testing Services

CELT administers the College-Level Examination Program tests, and we can help guide you through the General Education Waiver Process.
 

We can also point you toward resources to  prepare you for required tests in your field.
